What does the term deserialization mean?

Answer: A. Deserialization is the process of converting data that has been serialized or encoded in a specific format, back into its original form as an object or a data structure in memory. In Python, this typically involves creating Python objects based on sequences of bytes that have been serialized using a protocol such as JSON, Pickle, or YAML.

For example, if you have a Python object  my_obj  and you want to serialize it to a JSON string, you might do something like this:

import json

serialized_obj = json. dumps (my_obj)

To deserialize the JSON string back into a Python object, you would use the  json.loads()  method:

deserialized_obj = json. loads (serialized_obj)

This would convert the JSON string back into its original Python object form.
