Platform / Language / Feature support {#flatbuffers_support}
=====================================
FlatBuffers is actively being worked on, which means that certain platform /
language / feature combinations may not be available yet.
This page tries to track those issues, to make informed decisions easier.
In general:
* Languages: language support beyond the ones created by the original
FlatBuffer authors typically depends on community contributions.
* Features: C++ was the first language supported, since our original
target was high performance game development. It thus has the richest
feature set, and is likely most robust. Other languages are catching up
however.
* Platforms: All language implementations are typically portable to most
platforms, unless where noted otherwise.
NOTE: this table is a start, it needs to be extended.
