| 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. |
