I have some array data that I am currently putting into a string for exportation into a file... This process has worked just fine for me in the past, but it doesn't look to professional when someone decides that they want to go poking around in my export files.

My question is...

Is the serialization of objects that I think I have read about pretty simple to accomplish?

What does the data look like in the file (or wherever I put it) when it has been serialized?

Is it worth it? (I guess I have to decide this one for myself, but I *almost* always appreciate the comments and insight that you fine programmers have to offer )

Thanks in advance,
