===DataLoader===
<samp>DataLoader</samp> is a new C# utility which provides strongly-typed methods to load the game's data assets.
This solves an issue where we often needed fragile code like <code>Game1.content.Load<Dictionary<string, PassiveFestivalData>>("Data\\PassiveFestivals")</code>. With that code, it's easy to accidentally misspell the asset name, use different capitalization (which would break on Linux/macOS), or use the wrong return type. If you did, you likely wouldn't notice until the code actually executed at runtime and threw an exception.
In Stardew Valley 1.6, you can now rewrite that code like <code>DataLoader.PassiveFestivals(Game1.content)</code>. That's simpler, you can't use the wrong asset name or type, and it's more future-proof in case the game changes them.
