@Pentadact Replace 'character' with 'variable' and we are on the same page, Tom.

@matttwood You had some style, brother

@Revolt3r @Der_Kevin The other thing I'd like to note about comparing JSON to EasySave is that, generally, there's a bit of workload on your part to make schemas to easily read/write the JSON. With easysave, you just call their functions with the correct type specified. Something else to consider.

@Revolt3r @Der_Kevin And by game data, I mean, tuning stuff which isn't changed by the player. Stuff I import from google spreadsheets. Not game data that gets saved. Just in case there is some confusion there.

@Revolt3r @Der_Kevin Yep. JSON is great. I use it for all my game data. It's just slower if you're saving out large amounts of data. For example, my game saves out 300k - 1m world blocks. So, I need to stream data to binary.

@GreyAlien Heck yes! Nice work, Jake.

@Revolt3r @Der_Kevin Here's their documentation which should address any of your concerns:

It has very clear code examples.

@Revolt3r @Der_Kevin My one warning is that, there are times where you have to accept that the save won't be backwards compatible. Usually, this happens if you change deep-down coding structures. In which case, you should be in early access (like I am!) if you're making big sweeping changes like that

@Revolt3r @Der_Kevin I use the faster method of streaming where you save/load in a linear order that doesn't change. This makes backwards compatibility harder but not impossible. What I do when adding/removing save/data in new versions is do a simple version check as seen in the pic.

@Revolt3r @Der_Kevin Great question. Depends on the method of saving you choose. Easy Save lets you use 'tags' which, as far I understand, provides backwards compatibility. You'd have to look into that aspect as I don't use that method because it's a bit slower when saving large amounts of data.
