World Data Manager library for Minetest
Description
A Minetest library for managing data files in the world directory.
It takes a little work to read from & write to data in the world directory. wdata aims to make that easier by utilizing just two simple methods.
This mod is essentially an alternative to Minetest's built-in StorageRef & was created before I realized the implementation existed. Some may still find wdata useful as it does allow for customizing sub-directories & filenames.

Usage
There are two methods:
- wdata.read(fname)
- reads json data from file in world directory & converts to a table.
- fname: File basename without suffix (e.g. "my_config" or "my_mod/my_config").
- wdata.write(fname, data[, styled])
- converts table to json data & writes to file in world directory.
- fname: File basename without suffix (e.g. "my_config" or "my_mod/my_config").
- data: Table containing data to be exported.
- styled: Outputs in a human-readable format if this is set (default: true).
