UnitySerializationUtility class

Namespace: Sirenix.Serialization
Assembly: Sirenix.Serialization 
public static class UnitySerializationUtility
Provides an array of utility wrapper methods for easy serialization and deserialization of Unity objects of any type. Note that, during serialization, it is always assumed that we are running on Unity's main thread. Deserialization can happen on any thread, and all API's interacting with deserialization are thread-safe.

Note that setting the IndexReferenceResolver on contexts passed into methods on this class will have no effect, as it will always be set to a UnityReferenceResolver.

SerializeReferenceAttributeType 
public static readonly Type SerializeReferenceAttributeType

Properties

ForceEditorModeSerialization
Whether to always force editor mode serialization. This member only exists in the editor.
