Serializable Types

In Massive Loop Lua followings are serializable:

Basic Types

• Nil / null^[1] Serialization Size: 5 Bytes

• Boolean / bool Serialization Size: 6 Bytes

• Number / C# numerics^[2] Serialization Size: max 13 Bytes

• String / string Serialization Size: 5 + string size (UTF-8 encoded)

Unity Types

• Vector2 / []
• Vector3
• Vector4
• Quaternion
• Matrix4x4
• Color
• Rect

Arrays

Arrays are also serializable. Serializing arrays happens at element level. If the element is a serializable type from the list above, that element gets properly serialized, otherwise the element gets serialized as a Nil.
