    • https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-vcx/issues/745

    • question: should serialized format be considered opaque to users?

  • Discussion conclusion:

    • Serialized state machines should be considered opaque - users should not rely on the serialization structure, it might change in the future.

    • However, users can rely on ability to deserialize state machine from previous version of vcx, even if change in serialization format occurs

    • We will include from_parts  , to_parts  type of API on state machines, as it existed on MediatedConnection
