serialization

I was going through the serialization and de-serialization concepts and trying to relate it with what i worked and what I understood, please correct me if i am wrong..

What I have tried:

ajax call to Get data for example:
$.ajax({
url: 'http://localhost:8080/API_SVC/api/EmployeeAPI',
type: 'GET',
dataType: 'json',
success: function (data) {
WriteResponse(data);
}

when we make an ajax call to get a response from an action in controller, we get object in response and then response object will be converted to either in Json or xml. so That we can bind the returned data to any controls in views. Does this come under serialization or am i in the wrong path.

could anyone help me in understanding this. Thanks in advance...
