------------
Godot has a serialization API based on Variant. It's used for
converting data types to an array of bytes efficiently. This API is used
in the functions ``get_var`` and ``store_var`` of :ref:`class_FileAccess`
as well as the packet APIs for :ref:`class_PacketPeer`. This format
is *not* used for binary scenes and resources.
converting data types to an array of bytes efficiently. This API is exposed
via the global :ref:`bytes_to_var() <class_@GlobalScope_method_bytes_to_var>`
and :ref:`var_to_bytes() <class_@GlobalScope_method_var_to_bytes>` functions,
but it is also used in the ``get_var`` and ``store_var`` methods of
:ref:`class_FileAccess` as well as the packet APIs for :ref:`class_PacketPeer`.
