Revision history [back]

Basically what I am trying to figure out if data is serialized the same way in ROS2 as it was in ROS1 to be transmitted.

No, not at all.

ROS 2 uses DDS by default (there are other middleware choices).

See the ROS 2 design site. The articles about the middleware choice(s) are probably interesting and relevant.
