Marshaling is the process of gathering data and transforming it into a standard format before it is transmitted over a network so that the data can transcend network boundaries.
In order for an object to be moved around a network, it must be converted into a data stream that corresponds with the packet structure of the network transfer protocol. This conversion is known as data marshaling. Data pieces are collected in a message buffer before they are marshaled. When the data is transmitted, the receiving computer converts the marshaled data back into an object.
