What does it take to transfer data between different pieces of software? Or between software & hardware?
To start: Most of the channels for doing so transmit the data byte by byte in sequence. If your data isn't trivial enough to already fit in that structure, you need a "parser" & "serializer" to make it fit!
Then there's the question: What if that channel doesn't enough bandwidth? Enough confidentiality? Enough reliability? We can fix it in software!
1/4?
