Enum SaveFormat

Namespace

KeenEyes.Serialization

Assembly

KeenEyes.Core.dll

Specifies the serialization format used for save files.

public enum SaveFormat

Fields

Binary = 0

Binary format using ToBinary<TSerializer>(WorldSnapshot, TSerializer).

Binary format provides significant benefits:

• 50-80% smaller than JSON
• Faster serialization/deserialization
• No string parsing overhead

This is the recommended format for production applications.

Json = 1

JSON format using ToJson(WorldSnapshot).

JSON format is human-readable and useful for:

• Debugging save file contents
• Manual editing of save data
• Integration with external tools

Note: JSON format results in larger file sizes and slower operations.

Remarks

The format determines how world data is serialized before compression.

• Binary - Compact binary format, recommended for production
• Json - Human-readable JSON format, useful for debugging
