  - serialize
```
void serialize(java.io.DataOutput output,
               java.lang.Object obj)
        throws java.io.IOException
```
    Converts object instance into binary form
    
    Parameters:
    
    output - output into which binary data will be written while object is serialized
    
    obj - object instance to be serialized
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException - an exception from underlying stream
  - deserialize
```
<E> E deserialize(java.io.DataInput input)
           throws java.io.IOException
```
    Reads binary data from input and converts them into object instances.
    
    Type Parameters:
    
    E - type of deserialized object
    
    Parameters:
    
    input - input to read data from
    
    Returns:
    
    deserialized object
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException - an exception from underlying stream
  - clone
```
<E> E clone(E obj)
     throws java.io.IOException
```
    Deep binary clone. Serialize object into binary form, and then use data to deserialize it. Returned object should be equal to original, but is completely different instance.
    
    Type Parameters:
    
    E - type of cloned object
    
    Parameters:
    
    obj - object instance to be cloned
    
    Returns:
    
    deep clone
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException - an exception from underlying stream
