TryBeginWrite(int)
Allows faster serialization by batching bounds checking. When you know you will be writing multiple fields back-to-back and you know the total size, you can call TryBeginWrite() once on the total size, and then follow it with calls to WriteValue() instead of WriteValueSafe() for faster serialization.
Unsafe write operations will throw OverflowException in editor and development builds if you go past the point you've marked using TryBeginWrite(). In release builds, OverflowException will not be thrown for performance reasons, since the point of using TryBeginWrite is to avoid bounds checking in the following operations in release builds.
Declaration
public bool TryBeginWrite(int bytes)Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| int | bytes | Amount of bytes to write |
Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| bool | True if the write is allowed, false otherwise |

Declaration
public bool TryBeginWriteInternal(int bytes)Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| int | bytes |
Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| bool |
Exceptions
| Type | Condition |

TryBeginWriteValue<T>(in T)
Allows faster serialization by batching bounds checking. When you know you will be writing multiple fields back-to-back and you know the total size, you can call TryBeginWrite() once on the total size, and then follow it with calls to WriteValue() instead of WriteValueSafe() for faster serialization.
Unsafe write operations will throw OverflowException in editor and development builds if you go past the point you've marked using TryBeginWrite(). In release builds, OverflowException will not be thrown for performance reasons, since the point of using TryBeginWrite is to avoid bounds checking in the following operations in release builds. Instead, attempting to write past the marked position in release builds will write to random memory and cause undefined behavior, likely including instability and crashes.

WriteValueSafe<T>(in T, ForPrimitives)
Write a primitive value (int, bool, etc) Accepts any value that implements the given interfaces, but is not guaranteed to work correctly on values that are not primitives.
"Safe" version - automatically performs bounds checking. Less efficient than bounds checking for multiple writes at once by calling TryBeginWrite.
