I was using Flux and BSON to save the model.
Now I am switching to Lux now and I know the model, parameters, and states are separated.
The parameters are Component Arrays and I am not sure how to save them properly.
(I have an issue with [loading BSON](https://github.com/JuliaIO/BSON.jl/issues/109) file using Julia v1.8)
But here I mainly would like to know **any alternative ways** to save model parameters. Thank you!!

[Serialization · The Julia Language](https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/stdlib/Serialization/) will always work (be careful though…)
