Marshalling and UnMarshalling

Hi All,
Is the Marshalling and UnMarshalling technique is same as serialization and deserialization ian java ?

regards,

The meaning of the words "marshalling" and "unmarshalling" is more or less the same as "serializing" and "deserializing": you convert objects to or from some external format.

The JAXB (Java XML Binding) API uses the words "marshalling" and "unmarshalling" which in that case mean converting Java objects to XML and back.

Hi

Thanks for your reply .

Actually I know java serialization is nothing but saving the state of an object.
marshalling is saving the state of an object in an xml am I correct ?

Not necessarily XML format, it could also be some other format.
