What is the easiest way to take a entire roblox place & convert it into XML (or a similar string format)?

By saving as .rbxlx, you can get places in that format: Example.rbxlx (23.3 KB)

Which, when viewed with a text editor, looks like this:

Is there a easy way to get that result without making a plugin that serializes and deserializes every type of property? My usecase requires the ability to represent an entire roblox file as a string.

Thanks, any suggestions are appreciated.

While this is written in Node.Js, it may provide some insight to your issue. I couldn’t find anything written in Lua that will accomplish what you need, so you’ll probably have to write your own parser. That module will probably help you figure out where to start though. Javascript is fairly similar to Lua and should be pretty easy to transcribe.

Yeah, I’ve worked with node.js. My issue is getting the roblox place to a format like xml, not actually using that xml. If I can get it into that format, then I’m fine.

It’s impossible to get the Raw data. U can load that into the game (I think) but other than that u can’t actually get the text other than having the user paste it in
