	<description>
		Singleton for saving Godot-specific resource types to the filesystem.
		It uses the many [ResourceFormatSaver] classes registered in the engine (either built-in or from a plugin) to save engine-specific 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]).

		<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="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="&quot;&quot;" />
			<param index="2" name="flags" type="int" enum="ResourceSaver.SaverFlags" 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.
