Serialization 2.0
summary
Proposal replaces old Java serialization with a tiny bidirectional model: two annotations to mark constructors and deconstructors, a register static call to opt into nonpublic access, and explicit marshal/unmarshal operations that produce a structural "marsh" object. It drops preserving object identity (no implicit cycles), leans on constructor parameter names and records, and targets easy mapping to JSON, binary or CSV. Timeline aims for a JEP preview and ecosystem codecs.
