+[//]: # (title: Serialization)
+
+**Serialization** is the process of converting data used by an application to a format that can be transferred over a
+network or stored in a database or a file. Deserialization is the opposite process of converting external data back into a runtime object.
+Together, they are essential to most applications that exchange data with third parties.
+
+Some data serialization formats, such as [JSON](https://www.json.org/json-en.html) and [Protocol Buffers](https://protobuf.dev/) are particularly common.
+Being language-neutral and platform-neutral, these formats enable data exchange between systems written in any modern language.
+Kotlin provides this functionality through the [`kotlinx.serialization` libraries](#kotlin-serialization-libraries),
+which support multiple platforms and data formats.
+
+If you're new to serialization in Kotlin, we recommend starting with the [Get Started with Serialization](serialization-get-started.md) tutorial.
+It walks you through adding the Kotlin serialization library to your project and shows you how to serialize and deserialize your first class.
+
+
+
+## Kotlin serialization libraries
+
+The `kotlinx.serialization` library offers support for all platforms, including JVM, JavaScript, Native.
+It works with various serialization formats, such as JSON, CBOR, and Protocol buffers. For the complete list of supported serialization,
+see the [supported formats](#supported-serialization-formats) section.
+
+All Kotlin serialization libraries are part of the `org.jetbrains.kotlinx:` group, with names
+starting with `kotlinx-serialization-` and suffixes that reflect the serialization format.
+For example:
+
+* `org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-serialization-json` provides JSON serialization for Kotlin projects.
+* `org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-serialization-cbor` provides CBOR serialization.
+
+Platform-specific dependencies are automatically managed, so you don’t need to add them manually.
+Use the same dependencies for JVM, JavaScript, Native, and multiplatform projects.
+
+The `kotlinx.serialization` libraries follow their own versioning structure, independent of Kotlin.
+You can check out the releases on [GitHub](https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.serialization/releases) to find the latest versions.
+
+## Supported serialization formats
+
+`kotlinx.serialization` includes libraries for various serialization formats:
+
+* [JSON](https://www.json.org/json-en.html): [`kotlinx-serialization-json`](https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.serialization/blob/master/formats/README.md#json)
+* [Protocol buffers](https://protobuf.dev/): [`kotlinx-serialization-protobuf`](https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.serialization/blob/master/formats/README.md#protobuf)
+* [CBOR](https://cbor.io/): [`kotlinx-serialization-cbor`](https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.serialization/blob/master/formats/README.md#cbor)
+* [Properties](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.properties): [`kotlinx-serialization-properties`](https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.serialization/blob/master/formats/README.md#properties)
+* [HOCON](https://github.com/lightbend/config/blob/master/HOCON.md): [`kotlinx-serialization-hocon`](https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.serialization/blob/master/formats/README.md#hocon) (only on JVM)
+
+All libraries except JSON serialization (`kotlinx-serialization-json`) are [experimental](components-stability.md), which means their API can be changed without notice.
+For more details about JSON serialization, see [JSON serialization overview](configure-json-serialization.md).
+
+There are also community-maintained libraries that support more serialization formats, such as [YAML](https://yaml.org/) or [Apache Avro](https://avro.apache.org/).
+
+You can find out more about experimental serialization formats in [Alternative and custom serialization formats](alternative-serialization-formats.md).
+
+## Supported serialization types
+
+Kotlin serialization supports a variety of built-in types, including all primitive types and composite types from the Kotlin standard library like the `List` type.
+For more information, see [Serialize built-in types](serialization-serialize-builtin-types.md).
+
+> Not all types from the Kotlin standard library are serializable. In particular, [ranges](ranges.md) and the [`Regex`](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin.text/-regex/) class are not serializable at the moment.
+> Support for their serialization may be added in the future.
+>
+{style="note"}
+
+Additionally, classes annotated with `@Serializable` are fully supported for serialization, enabling the conversion of class instances to and from formats like JSON.
+For more information, see [Serialize classes](serialization-customization-options.md).

+
+* Learn the basics of Kotlin serialization in the [Get started with serialization tutorial](serialization-get-started.md).
+* See how the `kotlinx.serialization` library processes [primitives, collections, and other built-in types](serialization-builtin-types.md)
+* To explore more complex JSON serialization scenarios, see [JSON serialization overview](configure-json-serialization.md).
+* Dive into the [Serialize classes](serialization-customization-options.md) section to learn how to serialize classes and how to modify the default behavior of the `@Serializable` annotation.
+* Learn how to define and customize your own serializers in [Create custom serializers](serialization-custom-serializers.md).
