When creating a stat system for users, I first used yaml with skutilities.
Then after a while, I noticed that skutilites read and wrote the whole file every time I changed a single value. So I switched to saving the player variables in skript and accessing skript variables instead of yaml - and only saving and loading from yaml when the player joins/exits for offline access purposes.
With that, I was planning to create an addon myself that loaded yaml files more effectively since skutilites utilized not the most effective methods.
But today I found skript-yaml, which apparently did what I was planning to do - but probably even better by loading the yaml values to the server's memory at one go, but also keeping them there.
tl;dr
Which led me to the question - I'm pretty sure that loading from memory is the fastest loading method, but is skript-yaml's methods faster than skript variables?
Because if that's the case I'm planning on refactoring my whole code to just get all variables from skript-yaml's loaded yaml values instead.
