> A new mechanism for custom object serialization has been added, which uses two new magic methods: > > ```php > // Returns array containing all the necessary state of the object. > public function __serialize(): array; > > // Restores the object state from the given data array. > public function __unserialize(array $data): void; > ``` > > The new serialization mechanism supersedes the Serializable interface, which will be deprecated in the future.

From the RFC: > **Creating objects in __unserialize()** > > Some people have expressed a desire to make __unserialize() a static method which creates and returns the unserialized object (rather than first constructing the object and then calling __unserialize() to initialize it). > > This would allow an even greater degree of control over the serialization mechanism, for example it would allow to return an already existing object from __unserialize(). > > However, allowing this would once again require immediately calling __unserialize() functions (interleaved with unserialization) to make the object available for backreferences, which would reintroduce some of the problems that Serializable suffers from. As such, this will not be supported.
