What is zvArch?

zvArch is a data saving/loading plugin based on the ".zv" custom file format, designed to be simple, easy to read, and easy to integrate.

API

(Read the README for more info)

• zvArch.savezv(path,data,metadata)
  • Saves a dictionary to the desired path. If the file doesn't exist, it will create it. (metadata is optional)
• zvArch.loadzv(path)
  • Returns a result containing .data (the saved dictionary) and .metadata.
• zvArch.savezv_metadata(path,metadata)
  • Saves the metadata, replacing the previous data. It does not modify or remove the data.
• zvArch.savezv_metadata(path,metadata)
  • Saves the metadata, replacing the previous data. It does not modify or remove the data.
• zvArch.loadzv_metadata(path)
  • Loads only the metadata, faster because it doesn't process the rest of the file.

Features

• The following data types are supported:
  • INT, FLOAT, BOOL, STRING, VECTOR 2, VECTOR 3, COLOR.
  • Data that is not yet supported is stored as a "STRING" type in a variable of type var in the ".zv" file.
  • Nested structures: DICTIONARIES, ARRAY
