Hi Folks,
Could you please advise me the technical reason that why the Object class was not made to implement the serializable interface..!

Not always do you want to serialize the object, and not all objects are going to be serialized.

I dont know the real technical reason, but I can think of it. I dont think its a good idea to unnecessarily extend/implement classes/interfaces (even though they might be just Marker interface). If they are not marker interfaces then you would end up polluting the class with unnecessary implementations, extensions.

What's not clear? We only want some classes to be serializable, not all. If Object implements Serialzable, then everything would implement it, and we don't want that.

An interface cannot be "unimplemented". If the Object class implemented the Serializable interface, all Java objects would inevitably implement it as well, and subsequently there would not be any need for that interface at all. The way it is now, a class designer can choose whether his class should or should not implement that interface and can therefore decide whether the class will be serializable or not.

And if in case they did, you already know from this thread, what wrong it can do.
