I've heard it somewhere that the original .doc file format was simply a serialization of the internal Word data structure. They got a save/load for practically free.
Then they bring out a new version, and guess what? You cannot change anything, because you can no longer read the old files.
Then it turns out that when you serialize "everything", you also serialize the undo buffer. So you can read things that someone wrote and then erased in the document.
Yeah. Serialization is fine, but should be used judicially. Shachar
