FlatBuffers Version 1.0
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Welcome to FlatBuffers!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
FlatBuffers is a serialization library for games and other memory constrained
|
||
|
|
apps. Go to our [landing page][] to browse our documentation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
FlatBuffers allows you to directly access serialized data without
|
||
|
|
unpacking/parsing it first, while still having great forwards/backwards
|
||
|
|
compatibility. FlatBuffers can be built for many different systems (Android,
|
||
|
|
Windows, OS X, Linux), see `docs/html/index.html`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Discuss FlatBuffers with other developers and users on the
|
||
|
|
[FlatBuffers Google Group][]. File issues on the [FlatBuffers Issues Tracker][]
|
||
|
|
or post your questions to [stackoverflow.com][] with a mention of
|
||
|
|
**flatbuffers**.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For applications on Google Play that integrate this tool, usage is tracked.
|
||
|
|
This tracking is done automatically using the embedded version string
|
||
|
|
(flatbuffer_version_string), and helps us continue to optimize it. Aside from
|
||
|
|
consuming a few extra bytes in your application binary, it shouldn't affect
|
||
|
|
your application at all. We use this information to let us know if FlatBuffers
|
||
|
|
is useful and if we should continue to invest in it. Since this is open
|
||
|
|
source, you are free to remove the version string but we would appreciate if
|
||
|
|
you would leave it in.
