The Transient variable is a modifier that is used in the process of serialization. If the developer doesn’t want to store the value of a particular variable in a file at the time of serialization then they use the Transient keyword. JVM ignores the original value of the variable and saves the default value of that variable data type when it comes across the Transient keyword. It also plays an important role to meet security constraints.
