Game On! - Flatbuffers

Data serialization is vital to all modern games, but choosing the wrong format can cause bloated files that take longer to load. Flatbuffers are a data serialization library that focuses on creating the smallest serialized files with the fastest load time possible.

This is just a great solution! Thank you very much, I will go study and implement it.

But isn't it how a compiler or a runtime works, because basically it's text strings converted to different syntax between different languages let's say PHP to C++? It's easier to understand it in PHP rather than in C# how a conversion between different data types works, if it's readable and not a binary. Tho it could be that it isn't how it works. Users need fast internet for this task and a change in what is visible to a user when it's streaming.

Are there tools to read your c++ and build the schema for you or is that a manual process?

[colek]

Lets get a stable Python implementation!

Could you please do a video how to integrate it in Android. Because converting the files to flatc i am unable to do it.

Waiting for this to become a standart! :D

What's the speed compare to MessagePack?

[TheRealAfroRick]

Isn't this a predecessor to protocol buffers?
