There are now dedicated methods for reading/writing VST3 preset files:

> <https://github.com/juce-framework/JUCE/blob/develop/modules/juce_audio_processors/utilities/juce_ExtensionsVisitor.h#L52>

To use this, create a derived implementation of ExtensionsVisitor and pass it to AudioPluginInstance::getExtensions. The plugin instance will call visitVST3Client on your extensions instance, and you can then call setPreset on the provided VST3Client argument.
