/**

* An empty marker interface for classes that want to support serialization and

* deserialization based on the {@code ObjectOutputStream} and {@code

* ObjectInputStream} classes. Implementing this interface is enough to make

* most classes serializable. If a class needs more fine-grained control over

* the serialization process (for example to implement compatibility with older

* versions of the class), it can achieve this by providing the following two

* methods (signatures must match exactly):

* <p>

* {@code private void writeObject(java.io.ObjectOutputStream out) throws

* IOException}

* <p>

* {@code private void readObject(java.io.ObjectInputStream in) throws

* IOException, ClassNotFoundException}
