ResourceDatabase

Description

Resolves localized strings and assets for the active localization settings.

A resource database owns an AssetProvider chain and an internal per-locale asset cache. Access the active database through LocalizationSettings.Database. Tables load through the provider chain like any other asset (the database keeps no table list), so use the reference types TableReference and TableEntryReference to identify what to resolve. String entries flagged as Smart are formatted through the settings' Smart formatter (see LocalizationSettings.GetSmartFormatter), and resolved values pass through the locale's post-processing hook, which pseudo-locales use to transform text. Each resolve method has an asynchronous form that loads on demand and a synchronous form that reads only already-loaded tables. Missing or empty entries follow the locale fallback chain defined by Locale.FallbackCode.
