DataForge Pro is a modular Unity Editor tool for managing JSON data with schema-driven workflows, round-trip serialization, and plug-and-play asset handling. No runtime dependencies.Compatible with Unity 2021.3 LTS and above. Editor‑only design means no runtime dependencies, no build bloat, and full platform portability across PC, console, and mobile. Optional integrations with CrossSave Pro (cloud sync) and LevelLogic Pro (progression systems) extend functionality. Full source code and documentation included.DataForge Pro is a modular Unity Editor tool that standardises and streamlines JSON data workflows. It empowers developers to define, manage, and validate data directly in the Editor — no runtime dependencies, no manual setup. By enforcing schema consistency across editor and runtime, DataForge Pro eliminates mismatched structures, broken save/load cycles, and brittle pipelines. Whether you’re scaling complex systems or refining modular packages, it delivers clarity, consistency, and control.Key functionalitySchema‑driven workflows: Define and enforce data structures directly in the Unity EditorData standardisation: Keep all assets aligned with consistent schemas across editor and runtimeRound‑trip serialization: Reliable save/load cycles with transparent developer APIsPlug‑and‑play asset handling: Works out of the box, no manual setup requiredEditor integration: Create, edit, and validate assets with intuitive UI toolsFuture‑proof APIs: Supports synchronous and async/await workflows, portable across Unity and .NETSafe asset management: Built‑in deletion logic and schema validation prevent errors and data lossCross‑environment consistency: Unified serialization models for editor and runtimePlatform‑agnostic: Works seamlessly across PC, console, and mobile buildsWho is it for? Developers who want clean, scalable, schema‑driven data workflows inside Unity. Ideal for teams managing JSON assets, building modular systems, or preparing for cross‑platform deployment.What it does doStandardises JSON data across editor and runtimeProvides schema validation and round‑trip serializationOffers plug‑and‑play asset handling with zero manual setupIntegrates seamlessly into Unity Editor tooling with intuitive UIWorks across PC, console, and mobile builds with no platform restrictionsWhat it doesn’t do DataForge Pro is not a spreadsheet importer or CSV handler. It doesn’t support Excel‑style workflows or runtime data parsing. Instead, it focuses on editor‑only JSON workflows with schema validation, round‑trip serialization, and safe asset management.Unity Version: Compatible with Unity 2021.3 LTS and aboveScript Runtime: C#Data Handling: JSON schema‑driven workflows with round‑trip serializationIntegration: Plug‑and‑play editor tooling; optional cloud sync via CrossSave ProDependencies: None (CrossSave Pro optional)Prefabs: None required — fully modular and inspector‑readablePlatforms: PC, Console, Mobile (runtime tested, platform‑agnostic)Documentation: Included (Inspector tooltips and full guide)Source Code: Full access includedPortions of this package were created with the assistance of AI tools. The following AI systems were used during development:Bing Copilot (Microsoft) – used for general development assistance and for generating small text and code snippets during documentation editing.All AI-generated or AI-assisted content was reviewed, tested, and manually edited by the developer to ensure correctness, maintainability, and compliance with Unity’s C# and Asset Store standards.No art, 3D assets, or audio content were AI-generated.The final implementation, architecture, and documentation were authored, verified, and integrated manually.
