REST API Automation Testing from Scratch - REST Assured Java - Google Maps Add Place JSON to Implement Serialization

The video tutorial explains serialization and deserialization in Java, focusing on converting Java objects to JSON and vice versa. It uses the Google Maps API as an example to demonstrate these concepts. The tutorial guides viewers through building a script for API testing, highlighting the importance of using setters and getters. It also covers practical implementation, including setting up a base URL, query parameters, and handling HTTP requests. The tutorial emphasizes the transition from theoretical understanding to practical application, ensuring clarity in serialization processes.
