Serialization

The code generated by SpaceDataStandards.org can be used with any serialization format supported in major programming languages. In addition, it natively supports a efficient binary serialization format called , which was created at Google and open-sourced in 2014.

Flatbuffers have the following advantages over other serialization methods:

Access to serialized data without upfront processing (packing/unpacking)
Memory efficiency and speed - only memory required to access data is that of the buffer; 0 additional memory required.
Flexibility - forwards and backwards compatibility via optional fields
Strongly Typed - errors caught at compile-time instead of run-time
Convenience - Terse code via generated C++ headers. Optional functionality to parse schemas and JSON-like representations at runtime efficiently if needed (faster and more memory efficient than other JSON parsers)
Cross-Platform
