Introduction
If you're a regular Roblox user, wondering how you can save precious space while saving your data, this is for you! This page will talk about how data is stored and how to cut down on the amount of space being used, allowing you to save more data.

Roblox Data Persistence data is stored as XML, with Key, Value and Table tags. Each "key" links to a "value," which holds your data. The bulk of this XML would be this:
<Table> <Key> x </Key> <Value key="x" type="String"> y </Value> </Table>
As you can see, this already takes up a lot of space. Using Roblox Objects (which are already stored in an XML format) would use up even more characters.
