Codecs are a serialization tool from mojang's DataFixerUpper library. Codecs are used alongside [[DynamicOps|DynamicOps]] to allow objects to be serialized to different formats and back, such as JSON or NBT. While the DynamicOps describes the format the object is to be serialized to, the Codec describes the manner in which the object is to be serialized; a single Codec can be used to serialize an object to any format for which a DynamicOps exists. Codecs and DynamicOps jointly form an abstraction layer over data serialization, simplifying the effort needed to serialize or deserialize data.
