[ITK] itk::Image serialization

[Fijoy Vadakkumpadan]

Hi all,

Does ITK provide APIs to serialize and de-reserialize an itk::Image object
for the purpose of sending and receiving an image over a network?

In other words, I'm looking for APIs like this:

unsigned char* serializeImage(itk::Image::Pointer) - gives me a memory
buffer containing all image metadata and data

itk::Image::Pointer deserializeImage(unsigned char* buf) - gives me an
image object from a memory buffer created using serializeImage.

Do APIs like the above already exist?

Many thanks,
--Fijoy
