Serializable

Serializable：可序列化接口

序列化：将对象转换为字节流。

反序列化：将字节流转换为对象。

定义实体类会实现Serializable接口，目的就是为了把对象持久化存储或者网络比特流传输。

Serializable相当于转换层，把对象转换成字节流，传字节流比传比对象实例 更方便机器的存取。传输之前就之后转成字节流，以免传输时进行判断或者占用其他空间、时间 进行 字节流转换。

Serializable内部结构：

 接口中没有内容，可以看做一个标识接口。引一段百度知道的举例：比如在课堂上有位学生遇到一个问题，于是举手向老师请教，这时老师帮他解答，那么这位学生的举手其实就是一个标识，自己解决不了问题请教老师帮忙解决。

 

在Java中的这个Serializable接口其实就是告诉JVM，你要帮我做序列化的工作。

Serializable中关于serialVersionUID是的说明

在接口的说明对version number做出了详细的解释，大概意思是在序列化时会给每个实体类关联一个version号叫做serialVersionUID，类型为静态的static final 的 long。

serialVersionUID有两种显示的生成方式：        
一是默认的1L，比如：private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;        
二是根据类名、接口名、成员方法及属性等来生成一个64位的哈希字段

作用是用来验证 对象的发送方和接收方是否已经加载。什么意思：在反序列化时，JVM会将传输过来的serialVersionUID与本地实体类的对比，如果相同，反序列化成功，若不同则反序列化失败。

因为Java对象是保存在JVM的堆内存中的，也就是说，如果JVM堆不存在了，那么对象也就跟着消失了。

而序列化提供了一种方案，可以让你在即使JVM停机的情况下也能把对象保存下来的方案。就像我们平时用的U盘一样。把Java对象序列化成可存储或传输的形式（如二进制流），比如保存在文件中。这样，当再次需要这个对象的时候，从文件中读取出二进制流，再从二进制流中反序列化出对象。

虚拟机是否允许反序列化，不仅取决于类路径和功能代码是否一致，一个非常重要的一点是两个类的序列化 ID 是否一致，这个所谓的序列化ID，就是我们在代码中定义的serialVersionUID。

/**
 * Serializability of a class is enabled by the class implementing the
 * java.io.Serializable interface. Classes that do not implement this
 * interface will not have any of their state serialized or
 * deserialized.  All subtypes of a serializable class are themselves
 * serializable.  The serialization interface has no methods or fields
 * and serves only to identify the semantics of being serializable. <p>
 *
 * To allow subtypes of non-serializable classes to be serialized, the
 * subtype may assume responsibility for saving and restoring the
 * state of the supertype's public, protected, and (if accessible)
 * package fields.  The subtype may assume this responsibility only if
 * the class it extends has an accessible no-arg constructor to
 * initialize the class's state.  It is an error to declare a class
 * Serializable if this is not the case.  The error will be detected at
 * runtime. <p>
 *
 * During deserialization, the fields of non-serializable classes will
 * be initialized using the public or protected no-arg constructor of
 * the class.  A no-arg constructor must be accessible to the subclass
 * that is serializable.  The fields of serializable subclasses will
 * be restored from the stream. <p>
 *
 * When traversing a graph, an object may be encountered that does not
 * support the Serializable interface. In this case the
 * NotSerializableException will be thrown and will identify the class
 * of the non-serializable object. <p>
 *
 * Classes that require special handling during the serialization and
 * deserialization process must implement special methods with these exact
 * signatures:
 *
 * <PRE>
 * private void writeObject(java.io.ObjectOutputStream out)
 *     throws IOException
 * private void readObject(java.io.ObjectInputStream in)
 *     throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException;
 * private void readObjectNoData()
 *     throws ObjectStreamException;
 * </PRE>
 *
 * <p>The writeObject method is responsible for writing the state of the
 * object for its particular class so that the corresponding
 * readObject method can restore it.  The default mechanism for saving
 * the Object's fields can be invoked by calling
 * out.defaultWriteObject. The method does not need to concern
 * itself with the state belonging to its superclasses or subclasses.
 * State is saved by writing the individual fields to the
 * ObjectOutputStream using the writeObject method or by using the
 * methods for primitive data types supported by DataOutput.
 *
 * <p>The readObject method is responsible for reading from the stream and
 * restoring the classes fields. It may call in.defaultReadObject to invoke
 * the default mechanism for restoring the object's non-static and
 * non-transient fields.  The defaultReadObject method uses information in
 * the stream to assign the fields of the object saved in the stream with the
 * correspondingly named fields in the current object.  This handles the case
 * when the class has evolved to add new fields. The method does not need to
 * concern itself with the state belonging to its superclasses or subclasses.
 * State is saved by writing the individual fields to the
 * ObjectOutputStream using the writeObject method or by using the
 * methods for primitive data types supported by DataOutput.
 *
 * <p>The readObjectNoData method is responsible for initializing the state of
 * the object for its particular class in the event that the serialization
 * stream does not list the given class as a superclass of the object being
 * deserialized.  This may occur in cases where the receiving party uses a
 * different version of the deserialized instance's class than the sending
 * party, and the receiver's version extends classes that are not extended by
 * the sender's version.  This may also occur if the serialization stream has
 * been tampered; hence, readObjectNoData is useful for initializing
 * deserialized objects properly despite a "hostile" or incomplete source
 * stream.
 *
 * <p>Serializable classes that need to designate an alternative object to be
 * used when writing an object to the stream should implement this
 * special method with the exact signature:
 *
 * <PRE>
 * ANY-ACCESS-MODIFIER Object writeReplace() throws ObjectStreamException;
 * </PRE><p>
 *
 * This writeReplace method is invoked by serialization if the method
 * exists and it would be accessible from a method defined within the
 * class of the object being serialized. Thus, the method can have private,
 * protected and package-private access. Subclass access to this method
 * follows java accessibility rules. <p>
 *
 * Classes that need to designate a replacement when an instance of it
 * is read from the stream should implement this special method with the
 * exact signature.
 *
 * <PRE>
 * ANY-ACCESS-MODIFIER Object readResolve() throws ObjectStreamException;
 * </PRE><p>
 *
 * This readResolve method follows the same invocation rules and
 * accessibility rules as writeReplace.<p>
 *
 * The serialization runtime associates with each serializable class a version
 * number, called a serialVersionUID, which is used during deserialization to
 * verify that the sender and receiver of a serialized object have loaded
 * classes for that object that are compatible with respect to serialization.
 * If the receiver has loaded a class for the object that has a different
 * serialVersionUID than that of the corresponding sender's class, then
 * deserialization will result in an {@link InvalidClassException}.  A
 * serializable class can declare its own serialVersionUID explicitly by
 * declaring a field named <code>"serialVersionUID"</code> that must be static,
 * final, and of type <code>long</code>:
 *
 * <PRE>
 * ANY-ACCESS-MODIFIER static final long serialVersionUID = 42L;
 * </PRE>
 *
 * If a serializable class does not explicitly declare a serialVersionUID, then
 * the serialization runtime will calculate a default serialVersionUID value
 * for that class based on various aspects of the class, as described in the
 * Java(TM) Object Serialization Specification.  However, it is <em>strongly
 * recommended</em> that all serializable classes explicitly declare
 * serialVersionUID values, since the default serialVersionUID computation is
 * highly sensitive to class details that may vary depending on compiler
 * implementations, and can thus result in unexpected
 * <code>InvalidClassException</code>s during deserialization.  Therefore, to
 * guarantee a consistent serialVersionUID value across different java compiler
 * implementations, a serializable class must declare an explicit
 * serialVersionUID value.  It is also strongly advised that explicit
 * serialVersionUID declarations use the <code>private</code> modifier where
 * possible, since such declarations apply only to the immediately declaring
 * class--serialVersionUID fields are not useful as inherited members. Array
 * classes cannot declare an explicit serialVersionUID, so they always have
 * the default computed value, but the requirement for matching
 * serialVersionUID values is waived for array classes.
