Working with Data in Unreal Engine 5
summary
Shows concrete workflows: uses composite data tables so multiple designers edit separate CSV-backed tables merged at runtime; generates Blueprint/C++ nodes from OpenAPI with Web API (OpenAPI->Blueprint) to get JSON auto-marshaled into USTRUCTs or handled by Blueprint async action bases; stores authorable records as cooked data assets with diffing and soft object pointers to avoid load spikes; imports curves via CSV into curve tables; and performs fast filtering at edit- and runtime with Asset Registry queries for DLC and live ops.
