How to use Persistence in practice:

// PersistenceController.cs
using UnityEngine;
public class PersistenceController : MonoBehaviour
{
    public string directory = "my_game";
    public string fileName = "save001";
    void OnGUI ()
    {

        if( GUI.Button(new Rect(10,40,50,20),"Save")) Save();
    }
    public void Load () { Persistence.Load( directory , fileName ); }
    public void Save () { Persistence.Save( directory , fileName ); }
}
// Enemy.cs
using UnityEngine;
public class Enemy : MonoBehaviour, Persistence.IMember
{
	[SerializeField] string ID = null;
	string Persistence.IMember.ID { get=>ID; set=>ID=value; }
	[SerializeField] bool _persistent = false;

	[SerializeField] int _numAmmo = 100;
	string _key_numAmmo => $"{ID}.ammo";

	[SerializeField] bool _isAlive = true;
	string _key_isAlive => $"{ID}.alive";

	[SerializeField] float _gold = 1.23456789f;
	string _key_gold => $"{ID}.gold";

	string _key_position => $"{ID}.position";
	
	
	
	#if UNITY_EDITOR
	void OnValidate () => Persistence.ValidateID( this );

	{

	void ToSaveData ()
	{

			Persistence.SetInteger( _key_numAmmo , _numAmmo );
			Persistence.SetVector( _key_position , transform.position );
			Persistence.SetFloat( _key_gold , _gold );
			Persistence.RemoveBoolean( _key_isAlive );// let's keep this file small and store booleans for dead enemies only
		}
		else
		{
			Persistence.SetBoolean( _key_isAlive , false );// flag as dead
			Persistence.RemoveInteger( _key_numAmmo );// remove old data
			Persistence.RemoveVector( _key_position );// remove old data
			Persistence.RemoveFloat( _key_gold );// remove old data
