File()

This class works in a project you run on your own computer, but not in the examples you can start here in the browser. There is no file system, no video encoder and no OpenGL behind a web page, so calling it there tells you as much and does nothing.

The File class provides methods to save and load objects to and from files in JSON or XML format. It supports saving and loading objects with automatic detection of file type based on the method used. The class uses Jackson ObjectMapper for JSON and XmlMapper for XML serialization and deserialization.

Usage examples:

// Save an object as JSON
 File.save("/path/to/file.json", myObject);
 
 // Save an object as XML
 File.saveXML("/path/to/file.xml", myObject);
 
 // Load an object from JSON
 MyClass obj = File.load("/path/to/file.json", MyClass.class);
 
 // Load an object from XML
 MyClass obj = File.loadXML("/path/to/file.xml", MyClass.class);

Note: The file paths can be absolute or relative. If a relative path is provided, the class will attempt to load the file from the classpath.

Supported file types:

JSON
XML
