With small files you do not have to but with larger files it will speed up reading and writing. XMLEncoder Class //psuedo code does not run import java.beans.*; import java.io.*; public class SerializeToXML { public static void main(String args[]){ // an object, composition of objects or collection of objects AnObject anObject = new AnObject(); XMLEncoder encoder=null; try{ encoder=new XMLEncoder(new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("objects.xml"))); }catch(FileNotFoundException fnfe){...
