π Description
We initially introduced server assets to allow serving small nonbinary data such as HTML templates, JSON, and Markdown files.
@atinux was working on a POC that encountered the limitation of needing to bundle binary data.
This PR allows this by converting non-recognized extensions to base64 encoded string and restoring to ArrayBuffer at runtime.
This is a quick way to support the feature however for platforms that natively support filesystem access, not performant at all and later we shall improve it. So unless you have to, don't use it!
