A programming example

In programming, Marshal Mathers can also refer to a tool developed by Shopify to facilitate the serialization and deserialization of Ruby objects. Here's an example of how it can be used:

require 'marshal'

user = {
  name: 'Eminem',
  age: 48,
  occupation: 'Rapper'
}

serialized_user = Marshal.dump(user)

deserialized_user = Marshal.load(serialized_user)

puts deserialized_user[:name] # Outputs 'Eminem'

As you can see in the example above, we use Marshal to serialize a Ruby object (user) into a string (serialized_user). We then use Marshal again to deserialize the string back into a Ruby object (deserialized_user).
