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 | C | PHP | Ruby 22 ------------------------------ | ------ | ------ | ------ | ------ | ------ | --------- | ------ | --- | ---- 23 Codegen for all basic features | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | WiP | WiP 24 JSON parsing | Yes | No | No | No | No | No | Yes | No | No 25 Simple mutation | Yes | WIP | WIP | No | No | No | No | No | No 26 Reflection | Yes | No | No | No | No | No | Basic | No | No 27 Buffer verifier | Yes | No | No | No | No | No | Yes | No | No 28 Testing: basic | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | ? | ? 29 Testing: fuzz | Yes | No | No | Yes | Yes | No | No | ? | ? 30 Performance: | Superb | Great | Great | Great | Ok | ? | Superb | ? | ? 31 Platform: Windows | VS2010 | Yes | Yes | ? | ? | ? | VS2010 | ? | ? 32 Platform: Linux | GCC282 | Yes | ? | Yes | Yes | ? | Yes | ? | ? 33 Platform: OS X | Xcode4 | ? | ? | ? | Yes | ? | Yes | ? | ? 34 Platform: Android | NDK10d | Yes | ? | ? | ? | ? | ? | ? | ? 35 Platform: iOS | ? | ? | ? | ? | ? | ? | ? | ? | ? 36 Engine: Unity | ? | ? | Yes | ? | ? | ? | ? | ? | ? 37 Primary authors (github) | gwvo | gwvo | ev*/js*| rw | rw | evanw/ev* | mik* | ch* | rw 38 39 * ev = evolutional 40 * js = jonsimantov 41 * mik = mikkelfj 42 * ch = chobie 43 44 <br> 45
