Detailed Description

Coordinates the serialization and unserialization of object graphs.

When serializaing a complicated object graph to a binary data stream, the instance manager annotates the data stream to avoid serializing objects twice or becoming stuck in a cyclic dependency. This allows arbitrary connected graphs to be serialized.

Similarly when unserializing a stream, it ensures that the resulting object graph has the same structure.
