Provides a writer to write primitive types to a binary buffer in memory.

Inheritance
Object
MemoryBinaryWriter
Namespace: Unity.Entities.Serialization
Syntax
public class MemoryBinaryWriter : BinaryWriter, IDisposable
Remarks

This class can be used to serialize, for example, blob assets. The resulting binary buffer is stored in memory.

Examples
    struct MyData
    {
        public float embeddedFloat;
        public BlobString str;
    }
    public void WriteBlobAsset()
    {
        unsafe
        {
            var writer = new MemoryBinaryWriter();
            var blobBuilder = new BlobBuilder(Allocator.Temp);
            ref var root = ref blobBuilder.ConstructRoot<MyData>();
            builder.AllocateString(ref root.str, "Hello World!");
            root.embeddedFloat = 4;
            BlobAssetReference<MyData>.Write(writer, blobBuilder, kVersion);
        }
    }
