XML

Unity Engine

Am wondering if there is a way to make unity get data from XML meta data

There is but you gonna have to write the meta data interpreter yourself. You can load XML using the WWW class.

Google and this will get you started:

using System.IO;
using System.Xml;

public class XMLLoader : MonoBehaviour 
{
	void Start()
	{
		string xmlFilePath = "somthing/something/file.xml";
		if( File.Exists( xmlFilePath ) ){
			StreamReader xmlStream = new StreamReader( xmlFilePath ); 
			string xmlText = xmlStream.ReadToEnd(); 
			XmlDocument xmlDocument = new XmlDocument(); 
			xmlDocument.LoadXml( xmlText ); 

			if( xmlDocument != null ){				
				// get element by tag //				
				XmlNode node = xmlDocument.GetElementsByTagName( "tagName" ).Item( 0 );
				// handle node ... //
			
			}
		}
	}
}

Check out XMLSerializer too if you use C#, it’s easier to use generally if you control the creation of the XML file.

System.Xml.Serialization.

You can use the WWW.data to open a text based file and then modify the string. Not so sure about saving.
