How do I save and load game data in Godot 4?

Save game data in Godot 4: 1) Create a dictionary with all data to save (player position, stats, inventory, world state). 2) Convert to JSON using JSON.stringify(). 3) Write to user://saves/ using FileAccess.open(). 4) To load, read the file, parse JSON, and restore each game object's state. Use an Autoload (singleton) SaveManager for global access. Handle errors gracefully for corrupted saves.

Godot saves to user:// which maps to: Windows: %APPDATA%/Godot/app_userdata/[project_name]/, macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Godot/app_userdata/[project_name]/, Linux: ~/.local/share/godot/app_userdata/[project_name]/.
