<p>Serialization is the process of converting a data structure or object into a sequence of bits so that it can be stored in a file or memory buffer, or transmitted across a network connection link to be reconstructed later in the same or another computer environment.</p> <p>Design an algorithm to serialize and deserialize a binary tree. There is no restriction on how your serialization/deserialization algorithm should work. You just need to ensure that a binary tree can be serialized to a string and this string can be deserialized to the original tree structure.</p> <p><strong>Clarification:</strong> The input/output format is the same as <a href="https://support.leetcode.com/hc/en-us/articles/360011883654-What-does-1-null-2-3-mean-in-binary-tree-representation-" target="_blank">how LeetCode serializes a binary tree</a>. You do not necessarily need to follow this format, so please be creative and come up with different approaches yourself.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong class="example">Example 1:</strong></p> <img alt="" src="https://assets.leetcode.com/uploads/2020/09/15/serdeser.jpg" style="width: 442px; height: 324px;" /> <pre> <strong>Input:</strong> root = [1,2,3,null,null,4,5] <strong>Output:</strong> [1,2,3,null,null,4,5] </pre> <p><strong class="example">Example 2:</strong></p> <pre> <strong>Input:</strong> root = [] <strong>Output:</strong> [] </pre> <p> </p> <p><strong>Constraints:</strong></p> <ul> <li>The number of nodes in the tree is in the range <code>[0, 10<sup>4</sup>]</code>.</li> <li><code>-1000 <= Node.val <= 1000</code></li> </ul>
