The rules described above apply in the same way to Objects, with the exception that the Object level itself has no Value and therefore the SerializationFieldDataTypes do not contain a “Value”-field. Figure 14 shows the SerializationFieldDataType needed to serialize an Object and its children. The fields representing the children are inserted directly into the SerializationFieldDataType of the Object, without an intermediate “Children” structure used in case of Variables with children.

The SerializationFieldDataType for Variables with children are created according to chapter 6.4.3
