  18. Description

  19. -----------
    20. 

  20. 

  21. The engine can save resources when you do it from the editor, or when you use the :ref:`ResourceSaver<class_ResourceSaver>` singleton. This is accomplished thanks to multiple ``ResourceFormatSaver``\ s, each handling its own format and called automatically by the engine.
    22. 

  22. 

  23. By default, Godot saves resources as ``.tres`` (text-based), ``.res`` (binary) or another built-in format, but you can choose to create your own format by extending this class. Be sure to respect the documented return types and values. You should give it a global class name with ``class_name`` for it to be registered. Like built-in ResourceFormatSavers, it will be called automatically when saving resources of its recognized type(s). You may also implement a :ref:`ResourceFormatLoader<class_ResourceFormatLoader>`.
