 ### Serialization
 
-**TBD**
+The class `MessageBuilder` is used to map a record into an NDEF message. It
+includes a data buffer that contains the _raw_ message. Client code use the
+functions `append_record` to append a new record into the message being built.
+
+![ndef_message_builder_diagram]
+
+For convenience, serialization functions for common types are provided as well as
+a specialized `MessageBuilder` named `SimpleMessageBuilder` that exposes them
+in an object oriented fashion.
