Apache Geode Native .NET

Serializing Data

Data in your client application’s Geode cache must be serializable to be shared with Geode servers and other Geode clients. Built-in .NET types are serialized automatically into the cache and can be retrieved by Java servers and other Geode clients.

For domain objects that are not simple types, Geode provides multiple serialization options for storage and transmittal between processes, of which Geode Portable Data eXchange (PDX) serialization offers the best combination of versatility and ease-of-use for most applications.

Many .NET clients can take advantage of PDX reflection-based autoserialization.

To learn more about other serialization options, see the Data Serialization section in the Apache Geode User Guide.
