ViaNBT is a library for dealing with NBT and SNBT.

This project is derived from an earlier version of OpenNBT and contains various fundamental improvements and changes to it, including:

• Most notably, move the tag name out the of tags themselves
• SNBT for string serialization
• Add primitive getter methods to number types
• Don't wrap values given in Tag#setValue / Tag constructors
• Abstract NumberTag class for easier number handling
• Don't use reflection when creating tag instances
• Directly use value in copy(), also replacing clone()
• Implement tag specific equals() methods
• Update to Java 8

This project also includes code from adventure used for SNBT serialization.
