 #### Save to SharedPreferences
-Save any boolean, int, long, float, string, or any array of (boolean, int, long, float, string), any Serializable Object, or an ArrayList of any Serializable Objects in SharedPreferences from within a Context. (Throws unsupported type exception in case the object is not serializable.)
+Save any boolean, int, long, float, string, or any array of (boolean, int, long, float, string) or any data object in SharedPreferences from within a Context.
 ```kotlin
 save("mykey", true)                             // Boolean
 save("mykey", 1)                                // Int

-#### Serializable Object To Base64 Encoded String
-Convert a Kotlin Serializable Object to a Base64 encoded string and vice-versa. This can be useful in certain situations (e.g. Saving objects to SharedPreferences if required, Sending data over the network e.t.c)
-```kotlin
-val base64Str = objectToString(serializableObject)
-val originalObject = stringToObject(base64Str)
