Description

At this point I am not clear what the real use of the following 2 methods are in the IDF API. Can anyone explain? I have not seen it used anywhere in the code I might be missing something

  /**
   * Serialize the fields of this object to <code>out</code>.
   *
   * @param out <code>DataOuput</code> to serialize this object into.
   * @throws IOException
   */
  public abstract void write(DataOutput out) throws IOException;

  /**
   * Deserialize the fields of this object from <code>in</code>.
   *
   * <p>For efficiency, implementations should attempt to re-use storage in the
   * existing object where possible.</p>
   *
   * @param in <code>DataInput</code> to deseriablize this object from.
   * @throws IOException
   */
  public abstract void read(DataInput in) throws IOException;
