The Serialize method of the GameObject class is responsible for converting the state of a GameObject into a JSON representation. This method returns a JsonObject that contains all the data of the GameObject. If the GameObject is an instance of a prefab, the method will return a JSON object that represents the differences (patch/diff) between the instance and the original prefab.
To use the Serialize method, call it on an instance of a GameObject and pass in the desired SerializeOptions. The method will return a JsonObject that you can use to inspect or store the state of the GameObject.
// Example of using the Serialize method GameObject myGameObject = new GameObject(); Sandbox.GameObject.SerializeOptions options = new Sandbox.GameObject.SerializeOptions(); System.Text.Json.Nodes.JsonObject jsonObject = myGameObject.Serialize(options); // jsonObject now contains the serialized data of myGameObject
