SharpNBT

A CLS-compliant implementation of the Named Binary Tag (NBT) specification, written in pure C# with no external dependencies and targeting .NET Standard 2.1 to support a wide variety of .NET implementations on all platforms.

Features

• Ease-of-use: The structure revolves around a class inherited from a standard Stream object, which works and behaves exactly as would be expected for reading/writing NBT tags, no need to waste time frequently consulting API documentation.
• Performance: Leverages the power of C# 8.0 language features, including Span, MemoryMarshal, etc. This allows for a type-safe way to reinterpret raw buffers without pointers or making unnecessary copies of buffers, a common pitfall with serialization in a type-safe language.
• Cross-platform and cross-language (CLR) support: Supports any CLR language (i.e. C#, Visual Basic, F#, etc.) for the following runtime versions or greater:
  • .NET Standard 2.1
  • .NET 5.0
  • .NET Core 3.0
  • Mono 6.4
  • Xamarin.iOS 12.16
  • Xamarin.Mac 5.16
  • Xamarin.Android 10.0
  • Unity 2021.2.0b6
• No-dependencies.
• Includes a TagBuilder class for an even more simple way of building a complete tag from scratch with POD types.
