How do HISE Snippets Work?

[Casmat]

Hey!

I’m curious, how do HISE snippets work? Is it like a “preset” encoded into base64 format?

Thanks!

{
	MainController::ScopedEmbedAllResources sd(bp);
    
	ValueTree v = bp->getMainSynthChain()->exportAsValueTree();

	MemoryOutputStream mos;

	v.writeToStream(mos);

	MemoryOutputStream mos2;

	GZIPCompressorOutputStream zipper(&mos2, 9);
	
	zipper.write(mos.getData(), mos.getDataSize());
	zipper.flush();

	String data = "HiseSnippet " + mos2.getMemoryBlock().toBase64Encoding();

	SystemClipboard::copyTextToClipboard(data);

	if (!MainController::inUnitTestMode())
	{
		PresetHandler::showMessageWindow("Preset copied as compressed snippet", "You can paste the clipboard content to share this preset", PresetHandler::IconType::Info);
	}
	
}
