Data

Provides utilities for IData.

Importing class

import mods.ctintegration.data.DataUtil;

Methods

Method	Parameter	Return Type	Description
fromJson	json as string	IData	Converts a json String to IData. Returns null if errored
fromSNBT	nbt as string	IData	Converts an NBT string into IData. Returns null if errored
parse	data as string	IData	Attempts to parse a data string as JSON, and as NBT if it fails
toNBTString	data as IData	string	Converts an IData to NBT string representation
getRawString	data as IData	string	Discard the type definitions. Output is what you get when calling String.valueof() on the basic types (string, double, etc) For lists and maps this just simply cast them to string
toJson	data as IData	string	Converts an IData to JSON. Some properties might be lost, such as type definitions
read	filePath as string	IData	Reads the content of a json file. The file path is relative to the instance directory, and should contain .json
write	filePath as string, data as IData	void	Write data to the specified file. Will create a file if it doesn't exist
readSNBT	filePath as string	IData	Reads the content of as snbt file. The file path is relative to the instance directory, and should contain .snbt
writeSNBT	filePath as string, data as IData	void	Write data to the specified file. Will create a file if it doesn't exist

Performance tip : file operations can be pretty expensive, you should at least set the output to a value if using the same file multiple times. You should also avoid unnecessary read() and write() operation for data that didn't change.

The reader can read pretty JSON data (including with comment via json5), but the writer will always write on the same line. Both reader and writer supports nulls.

IData expansion

You can now call these methods on an IData object.

Method	Return Type
toNBTString()	string
getRawString()	string
toJson()	string
