About Unity Runtime Scene Serialization

Use Runtime Scene Serialization to save and load scenes in Unity Player builds.

To test this functionality in the Editor, try opening a scene and going to File > Save JSON Scene.... Make a new scene, then Choose File > Open JSON Scene... choose the scene you just saved, and you should see the same objects as if you had opened the Unity scene.

To use this in your project, simply call SerializationUtils.SerializeScene on the curently loaded scene you would like to serialize, and call SerializationUtils.DeserializeScene to parse a JSON scene and create the objects within.
