Difference between Serializable and Externalizable in Java?

Answer 1

Akshay Biradar

One of the obvious difference between Serializable and Externalizable is that Serializable is a marker interface i.e. does not contain any method but Externalizableinterface contains two methods writeExternal() and readExternal(). This difference between Serializable and Externalizable is performance.
