// This is an attempt at creating a uniform model for all NBT tags to allow for a uniform interface based on subclassing a single NBT tag super class.

// NBT tags have a type, optionally a name which consists of the name size and the name string, optionally content type, and optionally a payload which can consist of optionally content type, optionally a content size,
// and the stored content. The format in which they are stored is as follows: <type><name size><name><payload>. All numbers are stored in big endian representation.
// All tag types:
// generic representation:  Tag(Byte:tag_type, String:name, uint16:name_size, byte[]:content, int32:size)
// None (compound end):     Tag( 0, "",          0,                None,           0) => used to determine the end of a compound tag, only the type gets stored
// byte:                    Tag( 1, String:name, uint16:name_size, byte:content,   1) => a single signed byte, size not stored
// int16:                   Tag( 2, String:name, uint16:name_size, int16:content,  2) => 16 bit signed integer, size not stored
// int32:                   Tag( 3, String:name, uint16:name_size, int32:content,  4) => 32 bit signed integer, size not stored
// int64:                   Tag( 4, String:name, uint16:name_size, int64:content,  8) => 64 bit signed integer, size not stored
// float32:                 Tag( 5, String:name, uint16:name_size, float32:content,4) => 32 bit IEEE754 floating point number, size not stored
// float64:                 Tag( 6, String:name, uint16:name_size, float64:content,8) => 64 bit IEEE754 floating point number, size not stored
// byte[]:                  Tag( 7, String:name, uint16:name_size, byte[]:content, int32:size) => content stored prefixed with size
// String:                  Tag( 8, String:name, uint16:name_size, byte[]:content, uint16:size) => Java style modified UTF-8 string, content stored prefixed with size
// Tag[] (list):            Tag<Tag:type>( 9, String:name, uint16:name_size, Tag[]:content, int32:size) => list of tags of the same type with tag type and name information omitted prefixed by (in order) content type and size
// Tag[] (compound):        Tag(10, String:name, uint16:name_size, Tag[]:content,  int32:size) => list of tags, last tag is always an end tag, size not stored
// int32[]:                 Tag(11, String:name, uint16:name_size, int32[]:content,int32:size) => list of 32 bit signed integers prefixed with its size, endianness not verified at this point
// int64[]:                 Tag(12, String:name, uint16:name_size, int64[]:content,int32:size) => list of 64 bit signed integers prefixed with its size, endianness not verified at this point
