- **Cross-Language Compatibility:** Java serialization is inherently Java-centric and does not support cross-language scenarios well.

- **Type Safety:** Java serialization does not enforce type safety as strictly as some alternatives, potentially leading to runtime errors.

## Decision

- **Cross-Language Compatibility:**
Java serialization is inherently Java-centric and does not support cross-language scenarios well.

- **Type Safety:**
Java serialization does not enforce type safety as strictly as some alternatives, potentially leading to runtime errors.

## Decision

We do not use Java serialization.
