## Context

In Gradle we often need to serialize in-memory objects for caching, or to transmit them across process barriers, etc.
Java serialization is one way to implement this, however, despite its simplicity of implementation, it has several drawbacks:

- **Performance:**
Java's built-in serialization mechanism is often slower compared to other serialization solutions.
This is due to Java's use of reflection and the need to maintain a lot of metadata.

// do not attempt to find projects when the plugin is applied just to generate accessors

    dependencies {
        testFixturesApi(project(":internal-testing"))
