Serialization & Deserialization

Overview

Dealing with basic strings in our Kafka messages is convenient, but usually not what we want. Typically, we want to convert from a C# class or struct into a string or binary representation of the object. To do this, we can use Kafka Serializers. They allow us to convert a complex object into a wire-compatible format such as JSON, Avro, or Protobuf. This video will demonstrate how to create Kafka serializers and deserializers and connect them to your producer or consumer.

Topics:

  • Serialization/Deserialization
  • Asynchronous Serializers and Deserializers
  • Built-in Serializers and Deserializers
  • Custom Serializers and Deserializers
  • Registering Serializers and Deserializers
  • Producing and Consuming Serialized Messages
