US Patent 10496595 Method for zero-copy object serialization and deserialization

Serialization and deserialization of an object are performed by transmitting metadata and addresses of data members in a byte stream through a data network, receiving the byte stream from the data network, defining a container for the object, obtaining the addresses of the data members in the first memory from the input byte stream, applying direct memory access (DMA) or remote direct memory access (RDMA) to read the data members using the obtained addresses, and writing the data members into the container to create a new instance of the object.
