Almost every web application requires data serialization. This need arises in situations like:

• Transferring data over the network (e.g. HTTP requests, WebSockets)


• Embedding data in HTML (for hydration, for instance)


• Storing data in a persistent storage (like LocalStorage)


• Sharing data between processes (like web workers or postMessage)
