Storing Data (Objects & Lists) with JSON - Unity Tutorial 2021

In this tutorial you’ll learn how to save and read data into JSON files. We focuse more on lists which needs a little bit more code than default objects, but the latter one is also explained. JSON files store data in key-value pairs and are mainly used in web languages for communication between client and server, but it is also quite useful for games. Especially since Unity comes with a lightweight JSON serializer. This one unfortunately can natively only convert objects into JSON strings. But storing basic lists is also a very big part in games, e.g. for highscores. This tutorial acts as a preparation for my highscore list tutorial and uses this usecase. However the result is a generic FileHandler script, which can save and than read whatever you want. It just lacks of file validation and error handling, which is not part of this video.
