Are there classes or objects in your experience capable of saving their state as a byte sequence for later recovery?

In Android, the following mechanisms are often used to save and restore the state of objects:

• Parcelable: an interface that allows objects to be serialized into a byte sequence (Parcel) and restored from it. Used for passing data between components (e.g., between Activities).

• Serializable: a standard Java interface for serializing objects. Less efficient compared to Parcelable but easier to use.

• Bundle: a container for storing key-value pairs, which can contain objects implementing Parcelable or Serializable.

Example implementation of Parcelable:

public class User implements Parcelable {
    private String name;
    private int age;

    protected User(Parcel in) {
        name = in.readString();
        age = in.readInt();
    }

    @Override
    public void writeToParcel(Parcel dest, int flags) {
        dest.writeString(name);
        dest.writeInt(age);
    }

    @Override
    public int describeContents() {
        return 0;
    }

    public static final Creator<User> CREATOR = new Creator<User>() {
        @Override
        public User createFromParcel(Parcel in) {
            return new User(in);
        }

        @Override
        public User[] newArray(int size) {
            return new User[size];
        }
    };
}
