RBXLSerialize

a easy to use and really cool all-in-one Roblox Serializer

What is this?

A cool serializer for roblox, that uses basic data structure instead of serializing a existing object structure like JSON. can describe properties in as little as 3b. Created to fill the gap of exisiting serializers that are easy as a two method(s). And don't take a unnecessary amount of storage.

What can it do?

It can serialize all the children of an instance aswell as any of the supported datatypes (without instance). It can also serialize references to instances so things like (welds, or instances with Adornee properties).

Usage

local RBLXSerialize = require(script.Parent.RBLXSerialize)

local BinaryString = RBLXSerialize.Encode(dataTypeOrInstance, shouldCompress) 
 
local Instance = RBLXSerialize.Decode(BinaryString,IsCompressed)
