"# How to save and load LangChain objects\n",
"\n",
"LangChain classes implement standard methods for serialization. Serializing LangChain objects using these methods confer some advantages:\n",
"\n",
"- Secrets, such as API keys, are separated from other parameters and can be loaded back to the object on de-serialization;\n",
"- De-serialization is kept compatible across package versions, so objects that were serialized with one version of LangChain can be properly de-serialized with another.\n",
"\n",
"To save and load LangChain objects using this system, use the `dumpd`, `dumps`, `load`, and `loads` functions in the [load module](https://api.python.langchain.com/en/latest/core_api_reference.html#module-langchain_core.load) of `langchain-core`. These functions support JSON and JSON-serializable objects.\n",
"\n",
"All LangChain objects that inherit from [Serializable](https://api.python.langchain.com/en/latest/load/langchain_core.load.serializable.Serializable.html) are JSON-serializable. Examples include [messages](https://api.python.langchain.com/en/latest/core_api_reference.html#module-langchain_core.messages), [document objects](https://api.python.langchain.com/en/latest/documents/langchain_core.documents.base.Document.html) (e.g., as returned from [retrievers](/docs/concepts/#retrievers)), and most [Runnables](/docs/concepts/#langchain-expression-language-lcel), such as chat models, retrievers, and [chains](/docs/how_to/sequence) implemented with the LangChain Expression Language.\n",
"\n",
"Below we walk through an example with a simple [LLM chain](/docs/tutorials/llm_chain).\n",
"\n",
":::{.callout-caution}\n",
"\n",
"De-serialization using `load` and `loads` can instantiate any serializable LangChain object. Only use this feature with trusted inputs!\n",
"\n",
"De-serialization is a beta feature and is subject to change.\n",
