 Numeric statistics</h1>
 <p>If you need to obtain basic statistics about memory usage per heap, together with current budget, you can call function <a class="el" href="group__group__stats.html#ga9f88db9d46a432c0ad7278cecbc5eaa7" title="Retrieves information about current memory usage and budget for all memory heaps.">vmaGetHeapBudgets()</a> and inspect structure <a class="el" href="struct_vma_budget.html" title="Statistics of current memory usage and available budget for a specific memory heap.">VmaBudget</a>. This is useful to keep track of memory usage and stay within budget (see also <a class="el" href="staying_within_budget.html">Staying within budget</a>). Example:</p>
 <div class="fragment"><div class="line">uint32_t heapIndex = ...</div>
 <div class="line"> </div>
 <div class="line">VmaBudget budgets[VK_MAX_MEMORY_HEAPS];</div>

 <h1><a class="anchor" id="statistics_json_dump"></a>
 JSON dump</h1>
 <p>You can dump internal state of the allocator to a string in JSON format using function vmaBuildStatsString(). The result is guaranteed to be correct JSON. It uses ANSI encoding. Any strings provided by user (see <a class="el" href="allocation_annotation.html#allocation_names">Allocation names</a>) are copied as-is and properly escaped for JSON, so if they use UTF-8, ISO-8859-2 or any other encoding, this JSON string can be treated as using this encoding. It must be freed using function vmaFreeStatsString().</p>
 <p>The format of this JSON string is not part of official documentation of the library, but it will not change in backward-incompatible way without increasing library major version number and appropriate mention in changelog.</p>
 <p>The JSON string contains all the data that can be obtained using <a class="el" href="group__group__stats.html#ga36f3484de7aa6cd6edc4de9edfa0ff59" title="Retrieves statistics from current state of the Allocator.">vmaCalculateStatistics()</a>. It can also contain detailed map of allocated memory blocks and their regions - free and occupied by allocations. This allows e.g. to visualize the memory or assess fragmentation. </p>
