Apache Geode Native .NET Framework

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 Framework 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 Framework 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.
