- Method Detail
  - serialize
```
default String serialize(T value)
```
    Serialize a value to text in such a way that it can be deserialized with the corresponding deserializer. Note that null values for value are allowed. A null values stands for an empty column value in a CVS-file, a missing tag in an XML-file, etc. This version of the serialize method ignores the unit.
    
    Parameters:
    
    value - T; the value to serialize, may be null
    
    Returns:
    
    String; a string representation of the value that can later be deserialized, or nullto denote a missing value
  - deserialize
```
default T deserialize(String text)
```
    Deserialize a value from text that has been created with the corresponding serializer, where the value does not have a unit, and the class is known and fixed (and not checked). Note that null values for text are allowed. A null values stands for an empty column value in a CVS-file, a missing tag in an XML-file, etc. In this way, we can explicitly show values that were not specified in the file.
    
    Parameters:
    
    text - String; the string to deserialize, may be null
    
    Returns:
    
    T; an instance of the object created with the corresponding serializer, may be null when a value was not specified in the source from which the deserializer was called
