enum plVariantType::Enum : plUInt8

This enum describes the type of data that is currently stored inside the variant. Note that changes to this enum require an increase of the reflection version and either patches to the serializer or a re-export of binary data that contains plVariants.

Enumerator
Invalid	The variant stores no (valid) data at the moment.
FirstStandardType	*** Types that are flagged as 'StandardTypes' (see DetermineTypeFlags) ***
Bool	The variant stores a bool.
Int8	The variant stores an plInt8.
UInt8	The variant stores an plUInt8.
Int16	The variant stores an plInt16.
UInt16	The variant stores an plUInt16.
Int32	The variant stores an plInt32.
UInt32	The variant stores an plUInt32.
Int64	The variant stores an plInt64.
UInt64	The variant stores an plUInt64.
Float	The variant stores a float.
Double	The variant stores a double.
Color	The variant stores an plColor.
Vector2	The variant stores an plVec2.
Vector3	The variant stores an plVec3.
Vector4	The variant stores an plVec4.
Vector2I	The variant stores an plVec2I32.
Vector3I	The variant stores an plVec3I32.
Vector4I	The variant stores an plVec4I32.
Vector2U	The variant stores an plVec2U32.
Vector3U	The variant stores an plVec3U32.
Vector4U	The variant stores an plVec4U32.
Quaternion	The variant stores an plQuat.
Matrix3	The variant stores an plMat3. A heap allocation is required to store this data type.
Matrix4	The variant stores an plMat4. A heap allocation is required to store this data type.
Transform	The variant stores an plTransform. A heap allocation is required to store this data type.
String	The variant stores a string. A heap allocation is required to store this data type.
StringView	The variant stores an plStringView.
DataBuffer	The variant stores an plDataBuffer, a typedef to DynamicArray<plUInt8>. A heap allocation is required to store this data type.
Time	The variant stores an plTime value.
Uuid	The variant stores an plUuid value.
Angle	The variant stores an plAngle value.
ColorGamma	The variant stores an plColorGammaUB value.
HashedString	The variant stores an plHashedString value.
TempHashedString	The variant stores an plTempHashedString value.
FirstExtendedType	*** Types that are flagged as 'StandardTypes' (see DetermineTypeFlags) ***
VariantArray	The variant stores an array of plVariant's. A heap allocation is required to store this data type.
VariantDictionary	The variant stores a dictionary (hashmap) of plVariant's. A heap allocation is required to store this type.
TypedPointer	The variant stores an plTypedPointer value. Reflected type and data queries will match the pointed to object.
TypedObject	The variant stores an plTypedObject value. Reflected type and data queries will match the object. A heap allocation is required to store this type if it is larger than 16 bytes or not POD.
LastExtendedType	Number of values for plVariant::Type.
Default	Default value used by plEnum.
