What is byte serialization in SAP BC-I18 - Internationalization (I18N)?

SAP Term: byte serialization

• Component: BC-I18

• Component Name: Internationalization (I18N)

• Description: The order of a series of bytes determined by a computer architecture. Byte serialization allows all applications to interpret exchanged data correctly and to accurately reconstruct numeric values from it. This is important for interchange of textual data, particularly between computers of different architectual types. Types of byte serialization: Big-endian order Little-endian order

• Key Concepts: 
  Byte serialization is a process used in SAP's BC-I18 Internationalization (I18N) component to convert data into a byte stream. This stream is then used to store and transfer data between different systems. It is also used to ensure that data is stored in a consistent format across different systems.
  
  How to use it: 
  Byte serialization is used in SAP's BC-I18 Internationalization (I18N) component to convert data into a byte stream. This stream can then be used to store and transfer data between different systems. To use byte serialization, the data must first be converted into a byte stream using the appropriate methods. Once the data has been converted, it can then be stored or transferred as needed.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using byte serialization, it is important to ensure that the data is converted correctly. This can be done by using the appropriate methods for the type of data being converted. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the data is stored in a consistent format across different systems.
  
  Related Information: 
  Byte serialization is related to other processes such as encoding and compression. Encoding is used to convert data into a specific format, while compression is used to reduce the size of data. Both of these processes are often used in conjunction with byte serialization in order to store and transfer data more efficiently.
