# Serialization Example This example shows the use of the `serialization` component (and the `alpaca` library it wraps) to perform robust and reliable binary serialization and deserialization of arbitrary objects. ## How to use example ### Build and Flash Build the project and flash it to the board, then run monitor tool to view serial output: ``` idf.py -p PORT flash monitor ``` (Replace PORT with the name of the serial port to use.) (To exit the serial monitor, type ``Ctrl-]``.) See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.
To create a project from this example, run:
idf.py create-project-from-example "espp/serialization=0.21.0:example"
