Remarks

Implementations of this abstract class are free to use any serialization method. The default implementation uses the JSON serializer from the System.Text.Json namespace. Currently only strings are supported as the serialized representation of data. Byte array payloads and streams are not supported by this abstraction. Note that these methods all accept null values, in which case the return value should also be null.
