<description>
A singleton for saving resource types to the filesystem.
It uses the many [ResourceFormatSaver] classes registered in the engine (either built-in or from a plugin) to save resource data to text-based (e.g. [code].tres[/code] or [code].tscn[/code]) or binary files (e.g. [code].res[/code] or [code].scn[/code]).

<methods>
<method name="add_resource_format_saver">
<return type="void" />
<param index="0" name="format_saver" type="ResourceFormatSaver" />
<param index="1" name="at_front" type="bool" default="false" />
<description>
Registers a new [ResourceFormatSaver]. The ResourceSaver will use the ResourceFormatSaver as described in [method save].
This method is performed implicitly for ResourceFormatSavers written in GDScript (see [ResourceFormatSaver] for more information).
</description>
</method>
<method name="get_recognized_extensions">
<return type="PackedStringArray" />
<param index="0" name="type" type="Resource" />
<description>
Returns the list of extensions available for saving a resource of a given type.
</description>
</method>
<method name="get_resource_id_for_path">
<return type="int" />
<param index="0" name="path" type="String" />
<param index="1" name="generate" type="bool" default="false" />
<description>
Returns the resource ID for the given path. If [param generate] is [code]true[/code], a new resource ID will be generated if one for the path is not found. If [param generate] is [code]false[/code] and the path is not found, [constant ResourceUID.INVALID_ID] is returned.
</description>
</method>
<method name="remove_resource_format_saver">
<return type="void" />
<param index="0" name="format_saver" type="ResourceFormatSaver" />
<description>
Unregisters the given [ResourceFormatSaver].
</description>
</method>
<method name="save">
<return type="int" enum="Error" />
<param index="0" name="resource" type="Resource" />
<param index="1" name="path" type="String" default="""" />
<param index="2" name="flags" type="int" enum="ResourceSaver.SaverFlags" is_bitfield="true" default="0" />
<description>
Saves a resource to disk to the given path, using a [ResourceFormatSaver] that recognizes the resource object. If [param path] is empty, [ResourceSaver] will try to use [member Resource.resource_path].
The [param flags] bitmask can be specified to customize the save behavior using [enum SaverFlags] flags.
Returns [constant OK] on success.
[b]Note:[/b] When the project is running, any generated UID associated with the resource will not be saved as the required code is only executed in editor mode.
