## 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.

	// Set WantParts to indicate 3 parts
	finalChecksum.WantParts = 3

	// Test AppendTo serialization
	var serialized []byte
	serialized = finalChecksum.AppendTo(serialized, checksumCombined)

	// Use ChecksumFromBytes to deserialize the final checksum
	chksmOut := ChecksumFromBytes(serialized)
	if chksmOut == nil {
		t.Fatal("ChecksumFromBytes returned nil")
	}

	// Assert they are exactly equal
