Data-Driven Save System Toolkit (C#)

Build reliable save systems in minutes instead of rewriting them every time.

A lightweight, engine-agnostic C# toolkit for saving and loading game data using JSON.

Features

• Generic save & load system (Save<T>, Load<T>)
• Safe loading without exceptions (TryLoad)
• Automatic directory creation
• JSON-based serialization (human-readable)
• No engine dependency

What’s included

• SaveManager (core logic)
• Example usage (DemoConsole)
• Simple data model example

Use cases

• Saving player progress
• Storing game state
• Prototyping save systems
• Lightweight persistence for tools or simulations

Example

 SaveManager.Save("saves/player.json", player); var loaded = SaveManager.Load<PlayerData>("saves/player.json"); 

Safe loading

 if (SaveManager.TryLoad("save.json", out PlayerData? player)) { Console.WriteLine(player.Level); } else { Console.WriteLine("No save found."); }
