Creating a DataStructure

// Define the structure
var container = playerStructure.Container;
container.Set("name", "Default Player");
container.Set("level", 1);
container.Set("health", 100f);

// Create a nested container
var statsContainer = container.GetOrCreateContainer("stats");
statsContainer.Set("strength", 10);
statsContainer.Set("agility", 10);
statsContainer.Set("intelligence", 10);

Creating a DataInstance

// Load a DataStructure
var playerStructure = Resources.Load<DataStructure>("PlayerStructure");

// Create a runtime instance
var playerInstance = playerStructure.CreateInstance("Player1");

// Modify values (not structure)
playerInstance.Container.Set("name", "Hero");
playerInstance.Container.Set("level", 5);
