This namespace provides utilities for serializing and deserializing objects.
Functions
serialize
The serialize function takes an object as input and returns an associative array representation of that object. If the object is a roSGNode, it calls the serialize method on the node to get its serialized representation. For other types of objects, the serialize method must be provided by the object itself.
Arguments
| Argument Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
serializable | object | The object to be serialized. |
Returns
An associative array containing the serialized representation of the object.
deSerialize
The deSerialize function takes an associative array as input and returns an object created from the data in the array. If an optional object is provided, the function will deserialize the data into that object. If no object is provided, a new object will be created based on the data.
Arguments
| Argument Name | Type | Default Value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
data | mc.types.assocarray | N/A | The associative array containing the serialized representation of the object. |
serializable | object | invalid | An optional object to deserialize the data into. If not provided, a new object will be created based on the data. |
Returns
The deserialized object.
isSerializable
This function returns a boolean indicating whether an object is serializable.
Arguments
| Argument Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
item | object | The object to check for serializability. |
Returns
true if the object is serializable, false otherwise
