Gloam.Data

JSON-driven entity management with schema validation for Gloam engine

Overview

Gloam.Data provides a powerful, data-driven approach to game entity management. Define your game entities in JSON with automatic schema validation and efficient serialization using System.Text.Json source generation.

Features

  • JSON-Driven Entities: Define entities in JSON with automatic validation
  • Schema Validation: Auto-generated JSON schemas from C# classes
  • Source Generation: High-performance serialization with JsonSerializerContext
  • Entity Management: Base classes and utilities for game entities
  • Content Loading: Flexible content loading system with multiple providers

Quick Start

using Gloam.Data.Entities;
using Gloam.Data.Json;

// Define an entity in JSON
var playerJson = """
{
  "id": "player",
  "name": "Player Character",
  "visual": {
    "glyph": "@",
    "foreground": "#FFD700"
  },
  "stats": {
    "health": 100,
    "mana": 50
  }
}
""";

// Deserialize with validation
var player = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<PlayerEntity>(playerJson, GloamDataJsonContext.Default.PlayerEntity);

Key Components

  • Entity System: BaseGloamEntity and derived classes
  • JSON Context: GloamDataJsonContext for optimized serialization
  • Schema Validation: JsonSchemaValidator for runtime validation
  • Content Loading: Flexible loading system with multiple content providers

Entity Definition

Entities inherit from BaseGloamEntity and are automatically validated against generated JSON schemas:

public class PlayerEntity : BaseGloamEntity
{
    public VisualComponent Visual { get; set; }
    public StatsComponent Stats { get; set; }
}
