Serialization and Deserialization with Solace Schema Registry

Serialization means converting an application’s data objects from their native format into a binary format suitable for transmission or storage. For example, a serializer might take a Java object and convert it to Avro binary format using a schema from the registry.

Deserialization is converting the binary data back into its original format for application processing.

Serialization and deserialization of messages with Solace Messaging APIs is supported by the SERDES Collection. These APIs allow you to specify the schema you want to use to perform SERDES operations on PubSub+ event messages. Each different API and payload format pair needs its own SERDES.

You deploy the SERDES Collection alongside the Solace Messaging API for the programming language and schema format you are using to develop your application.
