SamlSerializer Class
Assembly: System.IdentityModel (in system.identitymodel.dll)
XML serialization is the process of converting an object's public properties and fields to a serial format (in this case, XML) for storage or transport. Deserialization re-creates the object in its original state from the XML.
The SamlSerializer class serializes and deserializes SAML security tokens, which have an extensible format. Unlike many other security tokens, SamlSecurityToken security tokens include XML elements and attributes that can be customized for an application's needs. Some of the extensibility points for a SAML assertion include the <saml:Advice>, <saml:Condition>, and <saml:Statement> elements. For more details about overriding how each of these elements are read, see the LoadAdvice, LoadCondition, and LoadStatement methods.
