Java has the Serializable interface, such that a class that implements
it can have its Object converted to a byte stream, sent somewhere else,
and then converted back into the Object again.

Otherwise, there is XDR which is meant to be used when moving data
between different internal representations.  (It will, for example,
convert floating point formats between otherwise incompatible systems.)
