Detailed Description

Represents an element within the tree of serialized data.

Each element contains metadata about itself and possibly a data value. For example, an element that represents an int contains a data value. An element that represents a vector or class does not contain a data value because its contents are stored as subelements, each of which is a DataElement itself.

Elements are linked to their subelements through the DataElementNode class.

You typically don't interact with the DataElement class directly.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ DataType

enum AZ::SerializeContext::DataElement::DataType

Indicates how the data is represented in memory.

Enumerator
DT_TEXT	The data points to a string representation of the data.
DT_BINARY	The data points to a binary representation of the data in native endian.
DT_BINARY_BE	The data points to a binary representation of the data in big endian.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ DataElement() [1/2]

AZ::SerializeContext::DataElement::DataElement ( )

A constructor.

◆ ~DataElement()

AZ::SerializeContext::DataElement::~DataElement ( )

A destructor.

◆ DataElement() [2/2]

AZ::SerializeContext::DataElement::DataElement ( const DataElement & rhs )

A copy constructor.

Member Function Documentation

◆ operator=()

DataElement & AZ::SerializeContext::DataElement::operator= ( const DataElement & rhs )

A copy assignment operator.

Member Data Documentation

◆ m_buffer

AZStd::vector<char> AZ::SerializeContext::DataElement::m_buffer

The local buffer that ByteContainerStream uses when the DataElement contains data.

◆ m_byteStream

IO::ByteContainerStream<AZStd::vector<char> > AZ::SerializeContext::DataElement::m_byteStream

The stream that is used when the DataElement contains data.

◆ m_dataSize

size_t AZ::SerializeContext::DataElement::m_dataSize

The size of the data, in bytes.

◆ m_dataType

DataType AZ::SerializeContext::DataElement::m_dataType

The type of data, if any.

◆ m_id

Uuid AZ::SerializeContext::DataElement::m_id

The unique ID of the DataElement type.

◆ m_name

const char* AZ::SerializeContext::DataElement::m_name

The name of the element. This must be unique within the scope of the class.

◆ m_nameCrc

u32 AZ::SerializeContext::DataElement::m_nameCrc

The CRC of m_name .

◆ m_specializedId

Uuid AZ::SerializeContext::DataElement::m_specializedId

The specialized type ID from the GenericClassInfo structure. Only valid if GenericClassInfo exists for the ClassElement that this DataElement represents.

◆ m_stream

IO::GenericStream* AZ::SerializeContext::DataElement::m_stream

A pointer to the stream that holds the element's data. This can point to m_byteStream .

◆ m_version

unsigned int AZ::SerializeContext::DataElement::m_version

The version of the data in the stream. This can be the current version or older. Newer versions are handled internally.
