### Changes Made.
1. **Removed redundant `apply` calls**: In the original code, there were nested `apply` calls which can be very slow on larger DataFrames. The new implementation converts the DataFrame to a list of dictionaries first and then truncates the values if needed.
2. **Optimized truncation logic**: Applied truncation directly while iterating over the dictionary after conversion from a DataFrame. This reduces overhead and improves readability.

These changes should enhance the runtime performance of the serialization process, especially for larger DataFrames.
