Specifications
This repository contains unofficial specifications for systems related to Roblox.
There is a growing desire for third parties to interoperate with Roblox and its systems. However, at this time, Roblox does not provide documents that specify their proprietary file formats, protocols, and other related items. The purpose of this project is to provide a resource for such third parties to produce their own implementations.
It must be made clear that this project is not official, and is not affiliated with Roblox Corporation. The documents provided here are not sourced directly from Roblox, but from third-party reverse-engineering efforts.
