How to SAVE and LOAD XML Files DATA in Unity

[@VBFilms]

I've been watching these xml-saving tutorials for a while and I must say this is the best one of them.

VBFilms thx for your high likes!!!!

This is the first save/load thing that worked for me, and it's quick and easy to use. Thank you very much

There is no need to use tags and to write every single variable individually (that's really confusing and waste of time), just make the data class you want to save serializable, then use XmlSerializer to write the whole class in one go to a XML-file. To load, you simply reverse the process. Like so: public void Save() { if (!Directory.Exists(Application.persistentDataPath + folderName)) //If folder does not exist, create it { Directory.CreateDirectory(Application.persistentDataPath + folderName); Debug.Log("Created data path"); } XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Save)); //Set the Save class to be serialized FileStream stream = new FileStream(Application.persistentDataPath + folderName + fileName + fileExtension, FileMode.Create); //Setting FileMode to Create to write the file serializer.Serialize(stream, _save); //_save is a reference to the serializable Save class, just make the reference however you wish to do it. stream.Close(); //Always remember to close the stream! } public void Load() { if(File.Exists(Application.persistentDataPath + folderName + fileName + fileExtension)) //We only load if the save file actually exists { XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Save)); //We do the same process as with saving FileStream stream = new FileStream(Application.persistentDataPath + folderName + fileName + fileExtension, FileMode.Open); //Set FileMode to Open to access the data file _save = (Save)serializer.Deserialize(stream); //Deserialize the file and cast it as Save data (or whatever your data class is called) stream.Close(); //Once again, you must close the stream or you lock the access. } else { Debug.LogWarning("Save File Not Found!"); } } That's all you need to do! Just modify the variables in the Save class directly in-game, so you don't need duplicates and to remember tens of tags. Simple, eh? Note: You need to be using System.Xml.Serialization to access the serialization classes.

PassiveSnack thx so much. If u try to use methods save and load data on webGL, only one method can work. I remember is xml. But I am stilling finding any solutions on unity forum. There are the same issues someone faced on forum. Btw. Happy New Year!!🎈🎊

OMG this is just what I want. Thx man, u really help a lot!

Thanks! 😁

You are the best. Thanks for tutorial. But one question, how to add at the TOP?

[@beaverjoe9171]

Thanks for your likes and comments. Happy ThanksGiving! 🎈 💫The XML declaration typically appears as the first line in an XML document. The XML declaration is not required. 🥬 If you want to add, You can open your XML file and add it to the top I think. (You can try it but I do not promise. I remember when I learned HTML, I did not use this line but all works 🍄)

[@nikitazuev3331]

@@beaverjoe9171 Unfortunately without this line my native language (cyrillic) dont reading. Ok. One more question, how to assign an attributes? XmlNodeList LoadedEnemys = XmlDoc.GetElementsByTagName("Enemys"); No problem, but how to use: XmlDoc.Attributes["Value1"].Value; ???? Thanks.

I just moved my unity project to another computer and now I'm getting an error "Input string was not in correct format". Even though it is. It seems Unity can't parse my float numbers. If I make the values whole numbers it works, but the problem comes from the floats. This worked on my other computer.
