Implement code generation and self-contained runtime library for Python.
The test suite verifies:
- Correctness of generated Python code by comparing output to that of
the other language ports.
- The exact bytes in the Builder buffer during many scenarios.
- Vtable deduplication correctness.
- Edge cases for table construction, via a fuzzer derived from the Go
implementation.
- All code is simultaneously valid in Python 2.6, 2.7, and 3.4.
The test suite includes benchmarks for:
- Building 'gold' data.
- Parsing 'gold' data.
- Deduplicating vtables.
All tests pass on this author's system for the following Python
implementations:
- CPython 2.6.7
- CPython 2.7.8
- CPython 3.4.2
- PyPy 2.5.0 (CPython 2.7.8 compatible)
FlatBuffers Version 1.1.0
Welcome to FlatBuffers!
Build Status
- Travis:
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.
