Get GlobalDataStore Instance

The following example retrieves a default data store instance which behaves like a regular Instance. Since a GlobalDataStore is an Instance, functions such as Instance/GetChildren|GlobalDataStore:GetChildren() will execute without error.

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")

local GlobalDataStore = DataStoreService:GetGlobalDataStore()
print(GlobalDataStore.Name)
