Passing Serialized object vs JSON between fragments

Question

I am considering different methods of passing an object from one fragment to another. I have read that passing a serialized version of an object between fragments can be a somewhat heavy transaction.

Would an alternative such as using GSON library to convert an object to JSON, and then passing the JSON string between fragment be a less memory intensive solution?

Answer 1

Parcelable is the best option when it comes to passing data between Fragments. Its Android way of serializing the data and passing it between Activity and Fragments efficiently.
