skript-storage was made to handle the most used file-storage system and use them easily with Skript. In addition to YAML, you can also manage JSON and TOML files as you like, since all of them have multiple advantages and disadvantages.

File Types Storage
skript-storage allow three main file storage type:

• YAML (valid extension: .yml)
• JSON (valid extension: .json)
• TOML (valid extension: .toml)

All of them have different advantages and disadvantages which will allow using one or the other for this or that type of storage.

Cross-version Data

skript-storage supports all of these three types, and the best part is that you don’t have to change anything in your code! Every node will be represented in the same way and every expression will be supported with these types.

Only headers comments will be available for YAML and not for JSON neither TOML.

skript-storage determine the file type with its extension (see the second part), and you cannot make a file with another extension (skript-storage will be unable to parse it)

Example

Code (Text):

1. create shortcut for "plugins/Test/config.yml" as "config"
2.  
3.  
4. set value "First.Second" from "config" to "Hello World!"
5. set value "First.Third.Fourth" from "config" to 50
6. set value "First.Lastly" from "config" to 30
7. set value "SecondMain" from "config" to "Welcome!"
8.  
9. set value "Node.Path" from "config" to red # Color
10. set value "Node.Path" from "config" to now # Date
