# ADR-0002 - Avoid using Java serialization

## Status

- ACCEPTED on 2023-12-01

## 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.

However, if there are no changes for more than a week, it's safe to assume that the issue is up for grabs.
There is no need to ask for an assignment or for permission to work on those issues, just comment and start working on it.

## Setting up your development environment

In order to make changes to Gradle, you'll need:

Use the `TestClient` object the same way as you do with `httpx`.

Write simple `assert` statements with the standard Python expressions that you need to check (again, standard `pytest`).

/// tip

Notice that the testing functions are normal `def`, not `async def`.

            LOGGER.warn("No files need to be deleted.");
            return;
        }

        final Set<File> filesToDelete = allFilesInCheckout.stream()
            .filter(each -> earlierFiles.contains(each.getName()))
            .collect(Collectors.toCollection(TreeSet::new));

        if (filesToDelete.isEmpty()) {
            LOGGER.warn("No files need to be deleted.");
            return;
        }

Framed protocols like http/2 don't lend themselves to blocking APIs. Each application-layer thread wants to do blocking I/O for a specific stream, but the streams are multiplexed on the socket. You can't just talk to the socket, you need to cooperate with the other application-layer threads that you're sharing it with.

- Temporary credentials do not need to be stored with the application but are generated dynamically and provided to the application when requested. When (or even before) the temporary credentials expire, the application can request new credentials.

Following are advantages for using temporary credentials:

- Eliminates the need to embed long-term credentials with an application.

# Form Data { #form-data }

When you need to receive form fields instead of JSON, you can use `Form`.

/// info

To use forms, first install [`python-multipart`](https://github.com/Kludex/python-multipart).

Make sure you create a [virtual environment](../virtual-environments.md), activate it, and then install it, for example:

```console
$ pip install python-multipart
```

///

## Import `Form` { #import-form }
