If you embed AceSerializer into your addon, Serialize and Deserialize will be embedded into your addon.

:Serialize(...)
Takes a list of values (strings, numbers, booleans, nils, tables) and returns it in a serialized form (a string).
:Serialize("fred", {"george"}, 3) returns a string to be passed to :Deserialize
[edit]
:Deserialize(string)
Accepts serialized data, ignoring all control characters and whitespace.
Returns true followed by a list of values, OR false followed by a message
