How To Convert Array Data Into Serialize Format In Magento 2

Serialization in Magento 2 allows converting data into a string using serialize() method to store in a database.

Using the native SerializerInterface class, one can convert array data into serialize format in Magento 2.

The serialize method is used for storing or passing PHP values, keeping their data type and structure intact.

For example, you can store the address field values from the array to the database.

Method To Convert Array Data Into Serialize Format In Magento 2:

use Magento\Framework\Serialize\SerializerInterface;

private $serializer;

public function __construct(SerializerInterface $serializer) {
  $this->serializer = $serializer;
}


public function setSerializeData()
{
    $arr = ['color' => 'red','size'=>'XL'];
    $serializeData = $this->serializer->serialize($arr);
    return $serializeData;
}

That’s Magento 2 serialization.
