Data Management and Data Lifecycle
Daniel J. Duffy, Andrea Germani · 2013
This chapter discusses how to model and manage data in applications. It focuses on how to read and write data across a variety of I/O types. This functionality is realised by the .NET Stream Architecture that provides read and write operations to a number of backing store streams. The second part of this chapter is devoted to the topic of serialisation and deserialisation that allows us to persistently store objects in binary or text form and to recreate the objects from these forms, respectively. The chapter also discusses how to serialise and deserialise simple and complex objects based on a number of formats.
