 <p>The C++ client API gives two serialization options: Geode PDX serialization and the <code>apache::geode::client::DataSerializable</code> interface.</p>

 <p>Geode Portable Data eXchange (PDX) serialization is the recommended option. PDX
 serialization provides portability for PDX serializable objects so that clients can share data with
 Java servers and other non-C++ clients. PDX is a cross-language data format that can reduce the cost
 of distributing and serializing your objects. PDX stores data in named fields that you can access
 individually in order to avoid the cost of deserializing the entire data object. PDX also allows you
 to mix versions of objects where you have added or removed fields.</p>

 <p>When using PDX serialization, you can use either <code>PdxSerializable</code> (for a specific domain object) or <code>PdxSerializer</code> (for all your domain objects).</p>

 <p><code>PdxSerializable</code> is used when the domain class that a user wants to serialize/deserialize is inherited from the <code>PdxSerializable</code> interface, and the user has registered the domain class using the <code>registerPdxType(domainClass)</code> API.</p>

 <p><code>PdxSerializer</code> is used when a user has registered a domain class for serialization in the cache using the <code>registerPdxSerializer</code> API.</p>

 <p>The non-PDX serialization option is to use the <code>apache::geode::client::DataSerializable</code> interface. This
 <code>DataSerializable</code> interface can be a good option performance-wise if the size of your objects is
 small. <code>DataSerializable</code> is used whenever a user domain class is not inherited by <code>PdxSerializable</code>,
 but the user has registered the class with the <code>registerType</code> API.</p>

 <ol>
 <li>Make sure to register the proper typeId when registering custom classes that have a corresponding server side jar (e.g. Portfolio and Position)</li>
 <li>Make sure to register any custom types in each process that uses those types. The cppcache framework uses four separate processes.</li>

	<p>The C++ client API gives two serialization options: Geode PDX serialization and the <code>apache::geode::client::DataSerializable</code> interface.</p>

	<p>Geode Portable Data eXchange (PDX) serialization is the recommended option. PDX
	serialization provides portability for PDX serializable objects so that clients can share data with
	Java servers and other non-C++ clients. PDX is a cross-language data format that can reduce the cost
	of distributing and serializing your objects. PDX stores data in named fields that you can access
	individually in order to avoid the cost of deserializing the entire data object. PDX also allows you
	to mix versions of objects where you have added or removed fields.</p>

	<p>When using PDX serialization, you can use either <code>PdxSerializable</code> (for a specific domain object) or <code>PdxSerializer</code> (for all your domain objects).</p>

	<p><code>PdxSerializable</code> is used when the domain class that a user wants to serialize/deserialize is inherited from the <code>PdxSerializable</code> interface, and the user has registered the domain class using the <code>registerPdxType(domainClass)</code> API.</p>

	<p><code>PdxSerializer</code> is used when a user has registered a domain class for serialization in the cache using the <code>registerPdxSerializer</code> API.</p>

	<p>The non-PDX serialization option is to use the <code>apache::geode::client::DataSerializable</code> interface. This
	<code>DataSerializable</code> interface can be a good option performance-wise if the size of your objects is
	small. <code>DataSerializable</code> is used whenever a user domain class is not inherited by <code>PdxSerializable</code>,
	but the user has registered the class with the <code>registerType</code> API.</p>

	<h2 id="important-points-to-remember-when-using-dataserializable">Important points to remember when using DataSerializable</h2>

	<ol>
	<li>Make sure to register the proper typeId when registering custom classes that have a corresponding server side jar (e.g. Portfolio and Position)</li>
	<li>Make sure to register any custom types in each process that uses those types. The cppcache framework uses four separate processes.</li>
