body: <p>Is it possible to serialize and deserialize a class in C++?</p>
  
  <p>I've been using Java for 3 years now, and serialization / deserialization is fairly trivial in that language. Does C++ have similar features? Are there native libraries that handle serialization?</p>
  
  <p>An example would be helpful.</p>
