Accessing Data

Accessing data can't be easier

The API was designed mainly to perform great while providing an easy and accessible approach.

Accessing the data:

Using the class: DataRegistry, you can easily access an item's, a player's or a block's persistent data.

The method used to access persistent data is:

@Override
    public void onEnable() {
        PersistentDataAPI api = new PersistentDataAPI(this);
        DataRegistry  data = api.getDataRegistry(player/item/block object);
    }

After accessing an object's Dataregistry, we can use some methods:

Method	Parameters	Exceptions thrown	Description
registerData()	AbstractPersistentData / dataName, dataValue	DataException if data already exists	Registers a new data That doesn't exist
unregisterData()	AbstractPersistentData / dataName	DataException if data doesn't exist	Deletes a registered data
setData()	AbstractPersistentData / dataName, dataValue	none	Changes existing data's value. If data doesn't exist, it will create it
getData()	AbstractPersistentData / dataName	DataException if data doesn't exist	Returns the value of the requested data
getAll()	none	none	Returns all keys and values of the given object's data container, in a HashMap
getKeys()	none	none	Returns all keys of the given object's container in a Set
getDataAsBytes()	AbstractPersistentData / dataName	DataException if data doesn't exist	Returns the data serialized to bytes (as an array of bytes)
dataExist()	AbstractPersistentData / dataName	none	Returns true if the requested data exists, false otherwise
