  \file serialization.h
  \brief Header file for the binary serializer component for Remote CMPI.

  This file defines a function table of methods to be used for serializing
  and deserializing CMPI data respectively. It covers most of the encapsulated
  data types, however, those which cannot be fully serialized or
  deserialized due to API restrictions are not included, e.g. CMPIResult,
  CMPIContext or CMPIEnumeration.
