SerializedProperty and SerializedObject are classes for editing properties on objects in a completely generic way that automatically handles undo, multi-object editing and Prefab overrides.
SerializedProperty is primarily used to read or change the value of a property. It can also iterate through the properties of an object using Next. Additional resources: SerializedObject class, Editor class.
using UnityEngine; using UnityEditor;
public class MyObject : ScriptableObject { public int myInt = 42; }
public class SerializedPropertyTest : MonoBehaviour { void Start() { MyObject obj = ScriptableObject.CreateInstance<MyObject>(); SerializedObject serializedObject = new UnityEditor.SerializedObject(obj);
SerializedProperty serializedPropertyMyInt = serializedObject.FindProperty("myInt");
Debug.Log("myInt " + serializedPropertyMyInt.intValue); } }

| hasVisibleChildren | Does it have visible child properties? (Read Only) |
| intValue | Value of an integer property. |
| isArray | Is this property an array? (Read Only) |
| isDefaultOverride | Allows you to check whether his property is a default override.Certain properties on Prefab instances are default overrides.See PrefabUtility.IsDefaultOverride for more information. |
| isExpanded | Is this property expanded in the inspector? |
| isFixedBuffer | Is this property a fixed buffer? (Read Only) |
| isInstantiatedPrefab | Is property part of a Prefab instance? (Read Only) |
| longValue | Value of a integer property as a long. |
| managedReferenceFieldTypename | String corresponding to the value of the managed reference field full type string. |
| managedReferenceFullTypename | String corresponding to the value of the managed reference object (dynamic) full type string. |
| managedReferenceId | Id associated with a managed reference. |
| managedReferenceValue | The object assigned to a field with SerializeReference attribute. |
| minArraySize | The smallest number of elements in the array across all target objects. (Read Only) |
| name | Name of the property. (Read Only) |
| objectReferenceValue | Value of an object reference property. |
| prefabOverride | Allows you to check whether a property's value is overriden (i.e. different to the Prefab it belongs to). |

| vector4Value | Value of a 4D vector property. |
| ClearArray | Remove all elements from the array. |
| Copy | Returns a copy of the SerializedProperty iterator in its current state. This is useful if you want to keep a reference to the current property but continue with the iteration. |
| CountInProperty | Count visible children of this property, including this property itself. |
| CountRemaining | Count remaining visible properties. |
| DeleteArrayElementAtIndex | Delete the element at the specified index in the array. |
| DeleteCommand | Deletes the serialized property. |
| DuplicateCommand | Duplicates the serialized property. |
| FindPropertyRelative | Retrieves the SerializedProperty at a relative path to the current property. |
| GetArrayElementAtIndex | Returns the element at the specified index in the array. |
| GetEndProperty | Retrieves the SerializedProperty that defines the end range of this property. |
| GetEnumerator | Retrieves an iterator for enumerating over the visible child properties of the current property. If the property is an array it will enumerate over the array elements. |
| GetFixedBufferElementAtIndex | Returns the element at the specified index in the fixed buffer. |
| InsertArrayElementAtIndex | Insert an empty element at the specified index in the array. |
| MoveArrayElement | Move an array element from srcIndex to dstIndex. |
| Next | Move to next property. |
| NextVisible | Move to next visible property. |
| Reset | Move to first property of the object. |
| DataEquals | Compares the data for two SerializedProperties. This method ignores paths and SerializedObjects. |
| EqualContents | See if contained serialized properties are equal. |
