FlatBuffers: Memory Efficient Serialization Library
About the project
Cross-platform zero-copy serialization library: data is read directly from the buffer without unpacking, with forward/backward compatibility. The flatc compiler generates code for C++, Rust, Python, Java and others.
Useful for
- Generate data access code from an .fbs schema with flatc for C++ and Rust
- Pass game or telemetry data between services without parsing on the receiver
- mmap a large file and read fields without loading it entirely

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
