Serialize an expression along with any needed definitions so that it can be used in another session
ResourceFunction["SerializeWithDefinitions"][expr] serializes expr to a ByteArray along with its dependent definitions. |
Serialize an expression with dependent definitions:
| In[1]:= | ![]() |
| Out[4]= |
Definitions are restored when the expression is deserialized:
| In[5]:= |
| Out[6]= |
The serialized expression is an evaluation that restores definitions before returning the output:
| In[7]:= | ![]() |
| In[8]:= |
| Out[8]= | ![]() |
BinarySerialize by itself does not preserve definitions:
| In[9]:= |
| Out[9]= |
| In[10]:= |
| Out[10]= |
| In[11]:= |
| In[12]:= |
| Out[12]= |
| In[13]:= |
| Out[13]= |
Serialize a Dataset:
| In[14]:= |
| Out[14]= |
Serialize the same Dataset with PerformanceGoal set to "Size":
| In[15]:= |
| Out[15]= |
Both forms represent the same expression:
| In[16]:= |
| Out[16]= |
