Detailed Description

Archive interface.

Archives abstract data storage and IO operations.

Note: IArchive is not derived from IRefCounted and does not force any lifetime control. It is up to user to implement it.; SDK ojects that use IArchive for serialization purposes do call only write() (during saving) or only read() (during loading) but never both during the same process unless otherwise is explicitly stated.; During saving or loading SDK objects are free to write or read their data in chunks; e.g. there may be several sequential calls to write() in scope of a single serialization request. Any IArchive implementation should be aware of this.
