| # Flexbuffers |
| |
| [Flexbuffers](https://google.github.io/flatbuffers/flexbuffers.html) is a |
| schema-less binary format developed at Google. FlexBuffers can be accessed |
| without parsing, copying, or allocation. This is a huge win for efficiency, |
| memory friendly-ness, and allows for unique use cases such as mmap-ing large |
| amounts of free-form data. |
| |
| FlexBuffers' design and implementation allows for a very compact encoding, |
| with automatic sizing of containers to their smallest possible representation |
| (8/16/32/64 bits). Many values and offsets can be encoded in just 8 bits. |
| |
| FlexBuffers supports [Serde](https://serde.rs/) for automatically serializing |
| Rust data structures into its binary format. |

| Flexbuffers is the schema-less cousin of |
| [Flatbuffers](https://google.github.io/flatbuffers/). |
