Serialization in Lagom
Lagom uses Akka serialization mechanisms to bind serializers for each of the message sent over the wire. Preferably we use JSON. We can easily add Play-JSON serialization that is much more familiar to developers.

Why Serialization?

• Persisting events and exchanging messages between the nodes of the cluster requires serialization.
• Request and response messages uses serialization.
• Without serialization it is not possible to deserialize old objects.
