Modern C# NBT (Named Binary Tag) library

MineSharp.Nbt

This is the "fork" of fNbt (90% rewritten so idk if its called a fork anymore)

Named Binary Tag (NBT) library for modern C#

Features:

• Implicit casts and initializer syntax allow for better code (example below)
• Non-complicated straightforward API:
  • NbtDocument.FromBinary(byte[])
  • NbtDocument.FromBinary(Stream)
  • byte[] NbtDocument.ToBinary()
• Newtonsoft.JSON-like NbtConvert
• gzip + zlib support

TODO

• endian support
• more docs

EXAMPLES

Implicit casts and initializer syntax

Accessing tags (long/strongly-typed style)

    int intVal = myCompoundTag.Get<NbtInt>("intTagsName");
    string listItem = myStringList.Get<NbtString>(0);
    byte nestedVal = myCompTag.Get<NbtCompound>("nestedTag")
                              .Get<NbtByte>("someByteTag");

Accessing tags (shortcut style)

    int intVal = myCompoundTag["intTagsName"];
    string listItem = myStringList[0];
    byte nestedVal = myCompTag["nestedTag"]["someByteTag"];

Iterating over all tags in a compound/list

    foreach(NbtTag tag in myCompoundTag.Tags)
	{
        Console.WriteLine(tag.Name + " = " + tag.TagType);
    }
    foreach(string tagName in myCompoundTag.Tags.Keys)
	{
        Console.WriteLine(tagName);
    }
    for(int i = 0; i < myListTag.Count; i++)
	{
        Console.WriteLine(myListTag[i]);
    }
    foreach(NbtInt intItem in myIntList.ToArray<NbtInt>())
	{
        Console.WriteLine(intItem);
    }

Constructing a new document

    var serverInfo = new NbtCompound("Server");
    serverInfo.Add( new NbtString("Name", "BestServerEver") );
    serverInfo.Add( new NbtInt("Players", 15) );
    serverInfo.Add( new NbtInt("MaxPlayers", 20) );

Constructing using collection initializer notation

    var nbt = new NbtDocument {
        { "someInt", 123 },
        { "byteList", {
            new NbtByte(1),
            new NbtByte(2),
            new NbtByte(3)
        } },
        {
			"nestedCompound",
			{
				{ "pi", (double)3.14 }
       		}
		}
    };

Pretty-printing

    Console.WriteLine(myNbt.ToString());
