- Resource saving interface, used for saving resources to disk.
+ Singleton for saving Godot-specific resource types to the filesystem.
+ It uses the many [ResourceFormatSaver] classes registered in the engine (either built-in or from a plugin) to save engine-specific resource data to text-based (e.g. [code].tres[/code] or [code].tscn[/code]) or binary files (e.g. [code].res[/code] or [code].scn[/code]).
