/**
* An empty marker interface for classes that want to support serialization and
* deserialization based on the {@code ObjectOutputStream} and {@code
* ObjectInputStream} classes. Implementing this interface is enough to make
* most classes serializable. If a class needs more fine-grained control over
* the serialization process (for example to implement compatibility with older
* versions of the class), it can achieve this by providing the following two
* methods (signatures must match exactly):
* <p>
* {@code private void writeObject(java.io.ObjectOutputStream out) throws
* IOException}
* <p>
* {@code private void readObject(java.io.ObjectInputStream in) throws
* IOException, ClassNotFoundException}
