- * \ingroup serialize
+ * @brief  	Implement the conversion of object data to data streams
+ * 		   	or vice-versa, using linked lists.
+ * @details
+ * An alternative to the AutoSerializeAdapter functions
+ *   - All object members with a datatype are declared as
+ *     SerializeElement<element_type> members inside the class
+ *     implementing this adapter.
+ *   - The element type can also be a SerialBufferAdapter to
+ *     de-/serialize buffers.
+ *   - The element type can also be a SerialFixedArrayListAdapter to
+ *     de-/serialize buffers with a size header, which is scanned automatically.
+ *
+ * The sequence of objects is defined in the constructor by using
+ * the setStart and setNext functions.
+ *
+ * 1. The serialization process is done by instantiating the class and
+ *    calling serialize after all SerializeElement entries have been set by
+ *    using the constructor or setter functions. An additional size variable
+ *    can be supplied which is calculated/incremented automatically.
+ * 2. The deserialization process is done by instantiating the class and
+ *    supplying a buffer with the data which is converted into an object.
+ *    The size of data to serialize can be supplied and is
+ *    decremented in the function. Range checking is done internally.
