This project aims to make object serialization in Unity as simple as possible while supporting all platforms.
PC/Mac/Linux standalones, iOS, Android.
First, you need to make sure that the class you want to serialize adheres to one of the two following:
-
For automatically serialization, mark the class with the SerializableAttribute as in
ExampleObjectSerializableAttribute.cs. -
For a fine-grained serialization process, implement the ISerializable interface as in
ExampleObjectISerializable.cs.
Serialize object to file
EasySerializer.SerializeObjectToFile(serializableObject, filePath);
Deserialize object from file
Object anObject = EasySerializer.DeserializeObjectFromFile(filePath);
In case you didn't already know, a persistent file path can be aquired in Unity like this:
string filePath = Application.persistentDataPath + '/object.data';
Standard object serializing in Unity on iOS devices breaks with this exception: ExecutionEngineException: Attempting to JIT compile method 'List 1__TypeMetadata:.ctor ()' while running with --aot-only..
To avoid this in your own code, add this line before doing any serialization it should work:
Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("MONO_REFLECTION_SERIALIZER", "yes");
