BSON support

[heckubiss]

I have a list of abstract data class i would like to serialize to a file.
public List level = new List ();

I tried doing it with the Unity serializer. I am able to write and read from a file but when i read back, the data is incorrect so I thought I would try full serializer

I was able to get to this point but not sure how to send to a file and then deserialize

// add stuff to level

    object classdata= level;
    fsData data;
    fsSerializer _serializer = new fsSerializer();
    _serializer.TrySerialize(classdata, out data).AssertSuccessWithoutWarnings();

Do System.IO.File.ReadAllText and System.IO.File.WriteAllText work?

Ie,

Saving the JSON to disk:
System.IO.File.WriteAllText("state", fsJsonPrinter.PrettyJson(data))

Restoring the JSON from disk:
fsData data = fsJsonParser.Parse(System.IO.File.ReadAllText("state"))

Please also see the StringSerializationAPI in the README.

OH sorry , I think I asked the wrong question.
How can I take a class and Serialize to binary?

[jacobdufault]

What do you mean by binary? BSON is not currently supported - I'd be happy to accept a pull request though if you implemented it via a fsBsonPrinter similar to fsJsonPrinter.

Closing for now. Feel free to submit a PR with BSON support and I'll integrate it into the main repro.
