    BaseSerializer is an abstract class that defines a standard interface for serialization and deserialization.

    It's designed to be extended for specific serialization formats like JSON, Pickle, or custom formats as needed.
    Implementers of this class need to provide concrete methods for serialize and deserialize operations.
