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

For example, you may serialize the following tree

    1
   / \
  2   3
     / \
    4   5
as "[1,2,3,null,null,4,5]", just the same as how LeetCode OJ serializes a binary tree. You do not necessarily need to follow this format, so please be creative and come up with different approaches yourself.

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

 *     int val;
 *     TreeNode *left;
 *     TreeNode *right;
 *     TreeNode(int x) : val(x), left(NULL), right(NULL) {}

class Codec {
public:

    // Encodes a tree to a single string.
    string serialize(TreeNode* root) {
        string res;
        if(!root){
            res+="#.";
            return res;
        }
        res += to_string(root->val)+".";
        res += serialize(root->left);
        res += serialize(root->right);
        return res;
    }

    // Decodes your encoded data to tree.
    TreeNode* deserialize(string data) {
        return _deserialize(data);
    }
private:
    TreeNode* _deserialize(string& data) {
        int potpos = data.find_first_of('.',0);
    
        string num = data.substr(0,potpos);
        data.erase(0,potpos+1);
        
        if(num == "#") {
            return NULL;
        }   
        
        TreeNode* root = new TreeNode(atoi(num.c_str()));
        root->left = _deserialize(data);
        root->right = _deserialize(data);
        
        return root;
    }
};

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