We already have lot of differences available in internet for these two interfaces but curious to know that any task which Externalizable can do but Serializable can't do and vice-versa.

The shared resource is more about differences between these two interface and describes when should we use which?

What is the difference between Serializable and Externalizable in Java?

  • 'Any task which `Externalizable can do but `Serializable` can't do': `Externalizable` can do almost anything it likes. 'and vice-versa' Nothing really, except save you code space. – user207421 Sep 15 '17 at 05:53
