1Platform / Language / Feature support {#flatbuffers_support} 2===================================== 3 4FlatBuffers is actively being worked on, which means that certain platform / 5language / feature combinations may not be available yet. 6 7This page tries to track those issues, to make informed decisions easier. 8In 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 19NOTE: this table is a start, it needs to be extended. 20 21Feature | C++ | Java | C# | Go | Python | JS | TS | C | PHP | Dart | Lobster | Rust | Swift 22------------------------------ | ------ | ----- | -------- | ----- | ------ | ----- | --- | ------ | --- | ------- | ------- | ------ | ------ 23Codegen for all basic features | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | WiP | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes 24JSON parsing | Yes | No | No | No | No | No | No | Yes | No | No | Yes | No | No 25Simple mutation | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | No | No | No | No | No | No | No | Yes 26Reflection | Yes | No | No | No | No | No | No | Basic | No | No | No | No | No 27Buffer verifier | Yes | No | No | No | No | No | No | Yes | No | No | No | No | No 28Native Object API | Yes | No | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | No | No | No | No | No 29Optional Scalars | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | No | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | No | Yes | Yes | Yes 30Flexbuffers | Yes | Yes | ? | ? | ? | ? | ? | ? | ? | ? | ? | Yes | ? 31Testing: basic | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | ? | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes 32Testing: fuzz | Yes | No | No | Yes | Yes | No | No | No | ? | No | No | Yes | No 33Performance: | Superb | Great | Great | Great | Ok | ? | ? | Superb | ? | ? | Great | Superb | Great 34Platform: Windows | VS2010 | Yes | Yes | ? | ? | ? | Yes | VS2010 | ? | Yes | Yes | Yes | No 35Platform: Linux | GCC282 | Yes | ? | Yes | Yes | ? | Yes | Yes | ? | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes 36Platform: OS X | Xcode4 | ? | ? | ? | Yes | ? | Yes | Yes | ? | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes 37Platform: Android | NDK10d | Yes | ? | ? | ? | ? | ? | ? | ? | Flutter | Yes | ? | No 38Platform: iOS | ? | ? | ? | ? | ? | ? | ? | ? | ? | Flutter | Yes | ? | Yes 39Engine: Unity | ? | ? | Yes | ? | ? | ? | ? | ? | ? | ? | No | ? | No 40Primary authors (github) | aard | aard | ev/js/df | rw | rw | ew/ev | kr | mik | ch | df | aard | rw/cn | mi/mz 41 42Above | Github username 43----- | ----------------------------- 44aard | aardappel (previously: gwvo) 45ch | chobie 46cn | caspern 47df | dnfield 48ev | evolutional 49ew | evanw 50js | jonsimantov 51kr | krojew 52mi | mustiikhalil 53mik | mikkelfj 54mz | mzaks 55rw | rw 56 57<br> 58
