what's the difference between Serialization and simply store the object on disk?
===

Hi~ I am confusd about this.
Since when doing implementation of Serializable class, we need to use classes like FileOutputStream, OjbectOutputStream or something like that. Then why not we just use those classes to do things like output a object to a file and input a ojbect from a file to maintain the status of a object directly? Why should we first implement Serializable and then do the same thing?
Thank you very much !
