1 Platform / Language / Feature support {#flatbuffers_support} 2 ===================================== 3 4 FlatBuffers is actively being worked on, which means that certain platform / 5 language / feature combinations may not be available yet. 6 7 This page tries to track those issues, to make informed decisions easier. 8 In general: 9 10 * Languages: language support beyond the ones created by the original 11 FlatBuffer authors typically depends on community contributions. 12 * Features: C++ was the first language supported, since our original 13 target was high performance game development. It thus has the richest 14 feature set, and is likely most robust. Other languages are catching up 15 however. 16 * Platforms: All language implementations are typically portable to most 17 platforms, unless where noted otherwise. 18 19 NOTE: this table is a start, it needs to be extended. 20 21 Feature | C++ | Java | C# | Go | Python | JS | TS | C | PHP | Dart | Lobster | Rust 22 ------------------------------ | ------ | ------ | ------ | ------ | ------ | --------- | --------- | ------ | --- | ------- | ------- | ---- 23 Codegen for all basic features | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | WiP | Yes | Yes | Yes 24 JSON parsing | Yes | No | No | No | No | No | No | Yes | No | No | Yes | No 25 Simple mutation | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | No | No | No | No | No | No | No 26 Reflection | Yes | No | No | No | No | No | No | Basic | No | No | No | No 27 Buffer verifier | Yes | No | No | No | No | No | No | Yes | No | No | No | No 28 Testing: basic | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | ? | Yes | Yes | Yes 29 Testing: fuzz | Yes | No | No | Yes | Yes | No | No | No | ? | No | No | Yes 30 Performance: | Superb | Great | Great | Great | Ok | ? | ? | Superb | ? | ? | Great | Superb 31 Platform: Windows | VS2010 | Yes | Yes | ? | ? | ? | Yes | VS2010 | ? | Yes | Yes | Yes 32 Platform: Linux | GCC282 | Yes | ? | Yes | Yes | ? | Yes | Yes | ? | Yes | Yes | Yes 33 Platform: OS X | Xcode4 | ? | ? | ? | Yes | ? | Yes | Yes | ? | Yes | Yes | Yes 34 Platform: Android | NDK10d | Yes | ? | ? | ? | ? | ? | ? | ? | Flutter | Yes | ? 35 Platform: iOS | ? | ? | ? | ? | ? | ? | ? | ? | ? | Flutter | Yes | ? 36 Engine: Unity | ? | ? | Yes | ? | ? | ? | ? | ? | ? | ? | No | ? 37 Primary authors (github) | aard* | aard* | ev*/js*| rw | rw | evanw/ev* | kr* | mik* | ch* | dnfield | aard* | rw 38 39 * aard = aardappel (previously: gwvo) 40 * ev = evolutional 41 * js = jonsimantov 42 * mik = mikkelfj 43 * ch = chobie 44 * kr = krojew 45 46 <br> 47
