Wouter van Oortmerssen 4d7890c2c9 Fixed whole-number float default values missing a .0 suffix. A previous commit that added "f" for C++/Java/C# would break on gcc of constants like 3f, which are now output as 3.0f Tested: on Linux Change-Id: If9cabbe3c6d6948a5050b8b123bda9c06e181f52		2016-04-18 11:50:46 -07:00

FlatBuffers

FlatBuffers is an efficient cross platform serialization library for games and other memory constrained apps. It allows you to directly access serialized data without unpacking/parsing it first, while still having great forwards/backwards compatibility.

Integration

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.
