::MSU.Serialization.serialize( _object, _out )
// _object can be any data type
// _out is the C++ object passed to squirrel onSerialize functions

Puts _object inside an instance of ::MSU.Class.ArrayData and serializes it into _out. This function can be conveniently used to serialize arrays, tables or any other data type without having to manually call the respective write functions of the _out object for all the data to be serialized.

::MSU.Serialization.deserialize( _in )
// _in is the C++ object passed to squirrel onSerialize functions

Deserializes the object that was previously serialized using ::MSU.Serialization.serialize.

::MSU.Serialization.isLoading()

Returns true while the game is loading a saved game.

::MSU.Serialization.isSaving()

Returns true while the game is saving a game.
