RonCS

Ron CS is a serializer/deserializer library for Ron and C#, letting you convert C# objects into Ron files, and Ron files back into C# objects.

Compared to JSON and XML, Ron is more human readable and has built in type names.

For most types they're public fields/properties and be serialized using Ron.Serialize(o) and deserialized with Ron.Deserialize<MyType>(ronString).

// A file encoded as RON.
Sequence(
  children: [
    FindFood(
      variableName: "food"
    ),
    NavigateTo(
      target: "food"
    ),
    Acquire(
      target: "food"
    )
  ]
)

Getting Started

Installation

Run dotnet add package RonCS

Serializing and Deserializing

Convert an object to a ron string.

// C# source code
User user = new User {
  username = "foo@bar.com",
  name = "Foo"
};

string ron = Ron.Serialize(user);
// Ron document
User(
  username: "foo@bar.com",
  name: "Foo"
)

Converting an object back to C#

User original = Ron.Deserialize<User>(ron);

// Original will be the same as the user that was originally constructed

Deserializing polymorphic types

To deserialize polymorphic types they have to be registered first so that the deserializer knows about them.

// Example Ron document
Sequence(
  children: [
    FindFood(
      variableName: "food"
    ),
    NavigateTo(
      target: "food"
    )
    Acquire(
      target: "food"
    )
  ]
)
// Register polymorphic types
Ron.RegisterTypes(
  typeof(Sequence), 
  typeof(FindFood), 
  typeof(NavigateTo), 
  typeof(Acquire)
);

// Deserialize ron document.
BehaviorTree behaviorTree = Ron.Deserialize<BehaviorTree>(ronString);
