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 PubSub+ 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 PubSub+ Messaging API for the programming language and schema format you are using to develop your application.
