We do not introduce new public API methods that include Groovy types in their signatures.
Existing Groovy methods will not be removed immediately.

## Decision

We do not use Java serialization. Instead, we use custom serialization where we explicitly describe how data objects should be serialized and deserialized.

For internal purposes, we use binary formats for their brevity.
We use the `Serializer` abstraction to separate the actual implementation of serialization from its uses.

When sharing data with external tools, we use JSON.
