Use case
Serialization of data refers to the conversion of an object to a string which can then be sent out to a different system. The following data types are supported by the Alumio Serializer mapper- JSON, NDJSON, XML, XLXS, cXML, CSV and YAML or encode URL.
A perfect example of serialization would be the requirement of giving a response of XML data.
