449. Serialize and Deserialize BST - Medium

Serialization is the process of converting a data structure or object into a sequence of bits so that it can be stored in a file or memory buffer, or transmitted across a network connection link to be reconstructed later in the same or another computer environment.

Design an algorithm to serialize and deserialize a binary search tree. There is no restriction on how your serialization/deserialization algorithm should work. You just need to ensure that a binary search tree can be serialized to a string and this string can be deserialized to the original tree structure.

The encoded string should be as compact as possible.

Note: Do not use class member/global/static variables to store states. Your serialize and deserialize algorithms should be stateless.

serialize用preorder traverse，deserialize用queue作辅助，左右分别递归

serialize　　    -- time: O(n), space: O(height)

deserialize　　-- time: O(n), space: O(n)

public class Codec {

    // Encodes a tree to a single string.
    public String serialize(TreeNode root) {
        if(root == null) {
            return "";

        preorder(root, sb);

    public void preorder(TreeNode root, StringBuilder sb) {
        if(root == null) {
            return;
        }
        sb.append(root.val).append(" ");
        preorder(root.left, sb);
        preorder(root.right, sb);

    // Decodes your encoded data to tree.
    public TreeNode deserialize(String data) {
        if(data == "") {
            return null;
        }
        String[] vals = data.split(" ");
        Queue<Integer> q = new LinkedList<>();
        for(String val : vals) {
            q.offer(Integer.parseInt(val));

        Queue<Integer> smallerQ = new LinkedList<>();
        while(!q.isEmpty() && q.peek() < root.val) {

        root.left = deserialize(smallerQ);
        root.right = deserialize(q);

// Your Codec object will be instantiated and called as such:
// Codec codec = new Codec();
// codec.deserialize(codec.serialize(root));
