Editing Serialization (section)

===PowerShell===
[[PowerShell]] implements serialization through the [[Shell builtin|built-in]] cmdlet <code>Export-CliXML</code>. <code>Export-CliXML</code> serializes .NET objects and stores the resulting XML in a file. To reconstitute the objects, use the <code>Import-CliXML</code> cmdlet, which generates a deserialized object from the XML in the exported file. Deserialized objects, often known as "property bags" are not live objects; they are snapshots that have properties, but no methods. Two dimensional data structures can also be (de)serialized in [[Comma-separated values|CSV]] format using the built-in cmdlets <code>Import-CSV</code> and <code>Export-CSV</code>.
