My question is if FlatBuffers is much faster than Protobuf, why isn't it more widely used compared to Protobuf? It used to be an experimental thing but it seems to be mature enough now but isn't w...

In typescript I am using flatbuffers like this: import {flatbuffers} from 'flatbuffers'; const builder = new flatbuffers.Builder(1); then I compile to js to be use with react-native: const flat...

I decided to figure out which of Protobuf, Flatbuffers and Cap'n proto would be the best/fastest serialization for my application. In my case sending some kind of byte/char array over a network (th...

Please help to suggest some merits and demerits of Flatbuffers and CBOR protocols. Both these binary formats claim to be good on their websites, but I am not able to make some good differences betw...

I have two questions regarding the use of flatbuffers in python, that focus around how to use them the right way without writing code that utterly defeats its performance advantage. I want to use f...

I've searched to find the proper MIME type for flatbuffers but I can't seem to find any. No mention of it on their documentation either. The project page: https://github.com/google/flatbuffers

I'm trying to build flatbuffers on OSX but I'm not sure how to proceed exactly. According to the doc. I should run cmake -G "Xcode". I did that and got the result: -- The C compiler identification...

I have basic knowledge of file streams in C++ and Google FlatBuffers. The Schema file is quite simple, also creating a buffer and reading from a buffer pointer. The thing that I don't get is how to...
