How do I save and recall module's variables?

I had the same question some time ago and decided it’s not worth the effort to implement some fancy stuff.

Array of float to byte for storage in patchfile?

One of my modules stores an array of float to the patchfile. Currently the size of the array is limited to 96000 but this is quite a random number and I want to loose it eventually. The module saves only used array cells to JSON and I’ve implemented a super stupid compression but the patchfile can get quite big, especially when using more instances of my module. The question: Is it a good idea to convert the array of floats to an array of byte to avoid the overhead involved with JSON? I’ve see…
