A package for compressing/decompressing data with support for DataStore.

Currently supported types

export type SupportedType = nil
	| boolean
	| number
	| string
	| { [SupportedType]: SupportedType }
	| BrickColor
	| Color3
	| CFrame
	| Vector3
	| Vector2
	| UDim2
	| UDim
	| Ray
	| Rect
	| Region3
	| Enum
	| NumberRange
	| NumberSequence
	| ColorSequence

Example code

In this example, you can learn how to save a player data in the DataStore

local DataSerializer = require(DataSerializer)

local playerData = {
		Admin = true,
		Values = {
				Coins = 2000000,
				Diamonds = 7000,
				Skills = {
						"Thorns",
						"Flying",
						"X-Ray"
				}
		}
}

-- Returns an array of strings, that you can save in DataStore
-- to deserialize later
local encoded = DataSerializer.Serialize(playerData)
DataStore:SetAsync("Player_1", encoded)

local DataSerializer = require(DataSerializer)

local encoded = DataStore:GetAsync("Player_1")
local playerData = DataSerializer.Deserialize(encoded)

API

.Serialize**( SupportedType input**, number? zlibLevel, boolean? useBase64 ) → {string} output

zlibLevel is the level of compression. The higher the lightest, but slowest. Use 0 for disabling, 9 for max compression. Defaults to 6.

useBase64 is whether the data will be encoded into valid characters or not. Base64 makes the result ~33% heavier. Enable it if you are storing the output in a DataStore, as it only accepts valid characters. Defaults to true.

.Deserialize**( {string} input**, boolean? usesBase64 ) → {string} output

Deserializes the previously serialized data
