What is a difference between the capabilities of @RemoteAction methods and JSON.deserialize in salesforce?

Hi Mohit,

There are many differences between these two as

• DateTimes de/serialize as quoted strings and for a time, the @RemoteAction serializer did not.
• @RemoteAction methods can serialize, but not deserialize ENUM values.
• JSON.deserialize will not handle deserializing into List<Object>, @RemoteAction deserialization will deserialize primitives properly into List<Object> but complex types will deserialize as nulls.
• Returning from a @RemoteAction doesn't run getters, JSON.serialize does.
• JSON.deserialize and @RemoteAction deserialization both run setters.

Hope this helps you.

Thanks
