Addressable Assets loading a binary file (TextAsset - .bytes file)

I have a group of binary files (.byte files) which I'm currently loading through the Resources folder and everything is working as intended. For example, to load one of the files I'm doing the following:

Code (CSharp):

1. public static int[,] LoadTerrainDataBytes(string terrainName) {
2.         TextAsset ta = Resources.Load("Terrain Details/" + terrainName, typeof(TextAsset)) as TextAsset;
3.         using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(ta.bytes)) {
4.             BinaryFormatter bf = new BinaryFormatter();
5.             TerrainStorageData tsd = (TerrainStorageData)bf.Deserialize(ms);
6.             return tsd.map;
7.         }
8.     }

But, after some more investigation I noticed that using resources folder isn't the best practice, and found about Addressable Assets. I have seen some examples on how to load prefabs and scenes with this new System, but I haven't found any example with binary files (TextAsset)
How can I replace the above method but using Addressable Assets system, and converting to my TerrainStorageData object?

Thank you in advance.

 

I'm facing the problem, and seeing as this thread has no answer, I would like to know.

The question is simple : How do I load a file containing raw binary data using addressables?

Edit : We can use the TextAsset, since it supports binary files too.
But it's a little misleading, because for Unity to treat the file as a TextAsset, the extension must be .txt, .csv, .json, or something like that. It can't be .bin, .bytes or .dat, since it would be treated as a DefaultAsset.

 

One way is implementing your own ScriptedImporter. You can specify the extension of your asset (like .mybin), then import it as TextAsset by using custom ScriptedImporter.
