UNMARSHALLED Meaning and
Definition
-
Unmarshalled is an adjective that describes the state or condition of data that has been transformed from a marshalled format or structure into its original or natural form. The term is often used in the context of computer programming, particularly in relation to data serialization and deserialization processes.
When data is marshalled, it is typically converted from its native representation into a more compact and standardized format, such as a byte stream or XML document. This allows the data to be stored, transmitted, or processed more efficiently. However, in order to be used or manipulated by a computer program, the marshalled data needs to be unmarshalled or deserialized, which involves reversing the marshal operation and restoring the data to its original format.
Unmarshalled data can now be accessed and manipulated directly by the program as per its original structure and types. For example, if an object is marshalled into a JSON string, unmarshalling that string would convert it back into an object that can be understood and used by the program.
The unmarshalling process is essential for programs that need to transfer or exchange structured data between different systems or programming languages. It allows for the proper interpretation and utilization of the data, ensuring compatibility and consistency in the communication and processing of information.

Etymology of UNMARSHALLED
The word "unmarshalled" is derived from the combination of the prefix "un-" which means "not" or "opposite of", and the verb "marshal".
The word "marshal" originated from the Old French term "maréchal", which referred to the caretaker of horses or a stable officer. The Old French word itself was derived from the Frankish words "marah" (horse) and "scalc" (servant). Over time, the term "marshal" evolved to have various meanings, including a military officer in charge of organizing and leading troops.
By adding the prefix "un-" to "marshal", the word "unmarshalled" is formed, implying the negation or reversal of the action of marshalling. Therefore, "unmarshalled" means not having been organized, arranged, or ordered in a particular manner, especially in a military context.
