| A SerDe is a class used to serialize items sketches to a :class:`bytes` object in binary. |
| Several example SerDes are provided as references. |
| |
| The use of binary-compatible SerDes in different languages is critical for cross-language compatibility. |
| |
| Each implementation must extend the :class:`PyObjectSerDe` class and override all three of its methods. |
| |
| .. autoclass:: PyObjectSerDe |
| |
| .. automethod:: get_size |
| .. automethod:: to_bytes |
| .. automethod:: from_bytes |
| |
| |
| The provided SerDes are: |
