FlatBuffers is a cross platform serialization library architected for
|
|
maximum memory efficiency. It allows you to directly access serialized
|
|
data without parsing/unpacking it first, while still having great
|
|
forwards/backwards compatibility.
|
|
|
|
Why use FlatBuffers?
|
|
* Access to serialized data without parsing/unpacking
|
|
* Memory efficiency and speed
|
|
* Flexible
|
|
* Tiny code footprint
|
|
* Strongly typed
|
|
* Convenient to use
|
|
* Cross platform code with no dependencies
|
|
|
|
Why not use Protocol Buffers, or .. ?
|
|
Protocol Buffers is indeed relatively similar to FlatBuffers, with the
|
|
primary difference being that FlatBuffers does not need a parsing/
|
|
unpacking step to a secondary representation before you can access
|
|
data, often coupled with per-object memory allocation. The code is an
|
|
order of magnitude bigger, too. Protocol Buffers has no optional text
|
|
import/export.
