A simple Save/Load data ?

Hi, there
i'd like to make a creation tool for my project.
it's a simple [save/load/edit] a data file.

Code (CSharp):

1. [System.Serializable]
2. public class Character{
3.    public int id;
4.    public string name;
5. }

Code (CSharp):

1. public class Character_Create:EditorWindow{
2.   private List<Character> data = new List<Characer>();
3.   private Character input = new Character();
4.  
5.   void OnGUI(){
6.    input.id = EditorGUILayout.IntField ("Character ID", input.id);
7.    input.name = EditorGUILayout.TextField ("Character Name", input.name);
8.  
9.    if(GUILayout.Button("Create")){
10.      data.Add(input);
11.    }
12.   }
13. }

this is my problem.
1)Is there easy way to save/load a List<> in to a file.
and any function to search a member of List<> by using ID to reference ?
2)what if i use Stream Read/Writer on other platform such a android ?

or any idea that can make it easier to build a Database file.
Thankyou.

 

A simple way to do this is using UnityEngine.JsonUtility.

Code (CSharp):

1. string json = JsonUtility.ToJson(myObject);
2. System.IO.File.WriteAllText(path, json);

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/JSONSerialization.html

 

i try this.

Code (CSharp):

1. if(GUILayout.Button("Create",GUILayout.Height(20))){
2.             chaDatabase.Add (cha);
3.             data = JsonUtility.ToJson (chaDatabase);
4.             MonoBehaviour.print (data);
5.             System.IO.File.WriteAllText ("Assets/Script/Database/Character", data);
6.         }

My List<Character> is not empty. but when i use 'data = JsonUtility.ToJson (chaDatabase);'
the print out is "{ }"

You need to wrap the list in a class, for example:

Code (csharp):

1. [Serializable]
2. public class CharacterList
3. {
4.     public List<Character> Characters = new List<Character>();
5. }

Then to serialise to JSON:

Code (csharp):

1. characterList = new CharacterList();
2. characterList.Add(character);
3. json = JsonUtility.ToJson(characterList);
