	<brief_description>
		A packed array of bytes.
	</brief_description>
	<description>
		An array specifically designed to hold bytes. Packs data tightly, so it saves memory for large array sizes.
		[PackedByteArray] also provides methods to encode/decode various types to/from bytes. The way values are encoded is an implementation detail and shouldn't be relied upon when interacting with external apps.
		[b]Note:[/b] Packed arrays are always passed by reference. To get a copy of an array that can be modified independently of the original array, use [method duplicate]. This is [i]not[/i] the case for built-in properties and methods. In these cases the returned packed array is a copy, and changing it will [i]not[/i] affect the original value. To update a built-in property of this type, modify the returned array and then assign it to the property again.

			<return type="PackedByteArray" />
			<param index="0" name="max_output_size" type="int" />
			<param index="1" name="compression_mode" type="int" default="0" />
			<description>
				Returns a new [PackedByteArray] with the data decompressed. Set the compression mode using one of [enum FileAccess.CompressionMode]'s constants. [b]This method only accepts brotli, gzip, and deflate compression modes.[/b]
				This method is potentially slower than [method decompress], as it may have to re-allocate its output buffer multiple times while decompressing, whereas [method decompress] knows it's output buffer size from the beginning.
				GZIP has a maximal compression ratio of 1032:1, meaning it's very possible for a small compressed payload to decompress to a potentially very large output. To guard against this, you may provide a maximum size this function is allowed to allocate in bytes via [param max_output_size]. Passing -1 will allow for unbounded output. If any positive value is passed, and the decompression exceeds that amount in bytes, then an error will be returned.
				[b]Note:[/b] Decompression is not guaranteed to work with data not compressed by Godot, for example if data compressed with the deflate compression mode lacks a checksum or header.

			<param index="0" name="value" type="int" />
			<description>
				Removes the first occurrence of a value from the array and returns [code]true[/code]. If the value does not exist in the array, nothing happens and [code]false[/code] is returned. To remove an element by index, use [method remove_at] instead.

		</method>
		<method name="get_string_from_ascii" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="String" />
			<description>
				Converts ASCII/Latin-1 encoded array to [String]. Fast alternative to [method get_string_from_utf8] if the content is ASCII/Latin-1 only. Unlike the UTF-8 function this function maps every byte to a character in the array. Multibyte sequences will not be interpreted correctly. For parsing user input always use [method get_string_from_utf8]. This is the inverse of [method String.to_ascii_buffer].
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_string_from_multibyte_char" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="String" />
			<param index="0" name="encoding" type="String" default="&quot;&quot;" />
			<description>
				Converts system multibyte code page encoded array to [String]. If conversion fails, empty string is returned. This is the inverse of [method String.to_multibyte_char_buffer].
				The values permitted for [param encoding] are system dependent. If [param encoding] is empty string, system default encoding is used.

			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_string_from_utf8" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="String" />
			<description>
				Converts UTF-8 encoded array to [String]. Slower than [method get_string_from_ascii] but supports UTF-8 encoded data. Use this function if you are unsure about the source of the data. For user input this function should always be preferred. Returns empty string if source array is not valid UTF-8 string. This is the inverse of [method String.to_utf8_buffer].
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_string_from_utf16" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="String" />

			<param index="0" name="at_index" type="int" />
			<param index="1" name="value" type="int" />
			<description>
				Inserts a new element at a given position in the array. The position must be valid, or at the end of the array ([code]idx == size()[/code]).
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="is_empty" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="bool" />
			<description>
				Returns [code]true[/code] if the array is empty.

				Removes an element from the array by index.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="resize">
			<return type="int" />
			<param index="0" name="new_size" type="int" />
			<description>
				Sets the size of the array. If the array is grown, reserves elements at the end of the array. If the array is shrunk, truncates the array to the new size. Calling [method resize] once and assigning the new values is faster than adding new elements one by one.
				Returns [constant OK] on success, or one of the following [enum Error] constants if this method fails: [constant ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER] if the size is negative, or [constant ERR_OUT_OF_MEMORY] if allocations fail. Use [method size] to find the actual size of the array after resize.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="reverse">
			<return type="void" />
			<description>
				Reverses the order of the elements in the array.

			<param index="1" name="from" type="int" default="-1" />
			<description>
				Searches the array in reverse order. Optionally, a start search index can be passed. If negative, the start index is considered relative to the end of the array.
			</description>

		<method name="slice" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="PackedByteArray" />
			<param index="0" name="begin" type="int" />

			<description>
				Returns the slice of the [PackedByteArray], from [param begin] (inclusive) to [param end] (exclusive), as a new [PackedByteArray].
				The absolute value of [param begin] and [param end] will be clamped to the array size, so the default value for [param end] makes it slice to the size of the array by default (i.e. [code]arr.slice(1)[/code] is a shorthand for [code]arr.slice(1, arr.size())[/code]).
				If either [param begin] or [param end] are negative, they will be relative to the end of the array (i.e. [code]arr.slice(0, -2)[/code] is a shorthand for [code]arr.slice(0, arr.size() - 2)[/code]).
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="sort">
			<return type="void" />
			<description>
				Sorts the elements of the array in ascending order.
