Saving to xml

Hello every one,

I’m working on an editor plugin were you can create and save UV animations. The way that it is set up right now, every time you edit the animation, the changes are saved to an xml file. What I want to do is cache the animation in the editor and only apply the changes when the user hits save.

I tried using TextAsset but the text property is read only. I also thought of creating a custom asset by using AssetDatabase, but I would like the data on the file to be readable

Has anyone come across a similar situation before?

Thanks

How would you like the data to be readable? A large text field with XML or a hierarchy of fields?
