JSON Encoding UserData/DataType Issue (nil value)

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Through testing, I’ve noticed that when I encode a value in JSON, “primitive” values are fine, but any userdata/datatype value simply becomes null.

Is there a way to get around this, or am I going to have to code a system to handle every different userdata/datatype type?

Thanks

Edit:

Just learned that all Enums have the Category of “Enum” and Vectors/CFrame/etc all have a Category of “DataType”. It also seems that all DataTypes use DataType.new, and all Enums basically work the same, so I’ll probably be able to make something out of that.

Yes. Since they don’t serialize through JSON you will have to make a custom (de) serializer.
