# Flatbuffers FlatBuffers is a cross platform serialization library architected for maximum memory efficiency. It allows you to directly access serialized data without parsing/unpacking it first, while still having great forwards/backwards compatibility. It was originally created at Google for game development and other performance-critical applications. ## See our * [Tutorial](https://google.github.io/flatbuffers/flatbuffers_guide_tutorial.html) * [Landing Page](https://google.github.io/flatbuffers/) * [Rust sample binary](https://github.com/google/flatbuffers/blob/master/samples/sample_binary.rs) * [Schema**less** format, Flexbuffers](https://crates.io/crates/flexbuffers) * [Github](https://github.com/google/flatbuffers)
