Hi guys, I’m currently trying to recreate a tool I wrote in C# but I’m failing at a step I imagined to be rather simple. I need to deserialize a .dat file which I’m not too sure of which format it uses, what I do know is that the C# default BinaryFormatter class manages to flawlessly deserialize/serialize the file.

This is my current code:

Dictionary rows = new Dictionary();
using (FileStream fileStream = new FileStream("file.dat", FileMode.Open)) {    
    BinaryFormatter bf = new BinaryFormatter(); 
    #pragma warning disable SYSLIB0011
    rows = (Dictionary)bf.Deserialize(fileStream); 
}

I’m looking for a way to solve this in go for hours, can anyone help me out with this, is there a stdlib or a third party plugin to solve this issue?
