What is the difference in implementing Externalizable as opposed to Serializable. For example what extra features does Externalizable interface provide.

Hi,

Serializable interface allows persistence of object state to any specified source and how it does is predefined.

Externalizable interface allows to provide our own definition of how the object state is to be maintained.

Hope this helps.

Regards
