+If you make changes to any of the code generators, be sure to run
+`cd tests && sh generate_code.sh` (or equivalent .bat) and include the generated
+code changes in the PR. This allows us to better see the effect of the PR.
+
+If your PR includes C++ code, please adhere to the Google C++ Style Guide,
+and don't forget we try to support older compilers (e.g. VS2010, GCC 4.6.3),

+Use in C    {#flatbuffers_guide_use_c}
+==========
+
+The C language binding exists in a separate project named [FlatCC](https://github.com/dvidelabs/flatcc).
+
+The `flatcc` C schema compiler can generate code offline as well as
+online via a C library. It can also generate buffer verifiers and fast
+JSON parsers, printers.
+
+Great care has been taken to ensure compatibily with the main `flatc`
+project.
+
+## General Documention
+
+- [Tutorial](@ref flatbuffers_guide_tutorial) - select C as language
+  when scrolling down
+- [FlatCC Guide](https://github.com/dvidelabs/flatcc#flatcc-flatbuffers-in-c-for-c)
+- [The C Builder Interface](https://github.com/dvidelabs/flatcc/blob/master/doc/builder.md#the-builder-interface)
+- [The Monster Sample in C](https://github.com/dvidelabs/flatcc/blob/master/samples/monster/monster.c)
+- [GitHub](https://github.com/dvidelabs/flatcc)
+
+
+## Supported Platforms
+
+- Ubuntu (clang / gcc, ninja / gnu make)
+- OS-X (clang / gcc, ninja / gnu make)
+- Windows MSVC 2010, 2013, 2015
+
+CI builds recent versions of gcc, clang and MSVC on OS-X, Ubuntu, and
+Windows, and occasionally older compiler versions. See main project [Status](https://github.com/dvidelabs/flatcc#status).
+
+Other platforms may well work, including Centos, but are not tested
+regularly.
+
+The monster sample project was specifically written for C99 in order to
+follow the C++ version and for that reason it will not work with MSVC
+2010.
+
+## Modular Object Creation
+
+In the tutorial we used the call `Monster_create_as_root` to create the
+root buffer object since this is easier in simple use cases. Sometimes
+we need more modularity so we can reuse a function to create nested
+tables and root tables the same way. For this we need the
+`flatcc_builder_buffer_create_call`. It is best to keep `flatcc_builder`
+calls isolated at the top driver level, so we get:
+
+<div class="language-c">
+~~~{.c}
+  ns(Monster_ref_t) create_orc(flatcc_builder_t *B)
+  {
+    // ... same as in the tutorial.
+    return s(Monster_create(B, ...));
+  }
+
+  void create_monster_buffer()
+  {
+      uint8_t *buf;
+      size_t size;
+      flatcc_builder_t builder, *B;
+
+      // Initialize the builder object.
+      B = &builder;
+      flatcc_builder_init(B);
+      // Only use `buffer_create` without `create/start/end_as_root`.
+      flatcc_builder_buffer_create(create_orc(B));
+      // Allocate and copy buffer to user memory.
+      buf = flatcc_builder_finalize_buffer(B, &size);
+      // ... write the buffer to disk or network, or something.
+
+      free(buf);
+      flatcc_builder_clear(B);
+  }
+~~~
+</div>
+
+The same principle applies with `start/end` vs `start/end_as_root` in
+the top-down approach.
+
+
+## Top Down Example
+
+The tutorial uses a bottom up approach. In C it is also possible to use
+a top-down approach by starting and ending objects nested within each
+other. In the tutorial there is no deep nesting, so the difference is
+limited, but it shows the idea:
+
+<div class="language-c">
+<br>
+~~~{.c}
+  uint8_t treasure[] = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9};
+  size_t treasure_count = c_vec_len(treasure);
+  ns(Weapon_ref_t) axe;
+
+  // NOTE: if we use end_as_root, we MUST also start as root.
+  ns(Monster_start_as_root(B));
+  ns(Monster_pos_create(B, 1.0f, 2.0f, 3.0f));
+  ns(Monster_hp_add(B, 300));
+  ns(Monster_mana_add(B, 150));
+  // We use create_str instead of add because we have no existing string reference.
+  ns(Monster_name_create_str(B, "Orc"));
+  // Again we use create because we no existing vector object, only a C-array.
+  ns(Monster_inventory_create(B, treasure, treasure_count));
+  ns(Monster_color_add(B, ns(Color_Red)));
+  if (1) {
+      ns(Monster_weapons_start(B));
+      ns(Monster_weapons_push_create(B, flatbuffers_string_create_str(B, "Sword"), 3));
+      // We reuse the axe object later. Note that we dereference a pointer
+      // because push always returns a short-term pointer to the stored element.
+      // We could also have created the axe object first and simply pushed it.
+      axe = *ns(Monster_weapons_push_create(B, flatbuffers_string_create_str(B, "Axe"), 5));
+      ns(Monster_weapons_end(B));
+  } else {
+      // We can have more control with the table elements added to a vector:
+      //
+      ns(Monster_weapons_start(B));
+      ns(Monster_weapons_push_start(B));
+      ns(Weapon_name_create_str(B, "Sword"));
+      ns(Weapon_damage_add(B, 3));
+      ns(Monster_weapons_push_end(B));
+      ns(Monster_weapons_push_start(B));
+      ns(Monster_weapons_push_start(B));
+      ns(Weapon_name_create_str(B, "Axe"));
+      ns(Weapon_damage_add(B, 5));
+      axe = *ns(Monster_weapons_push_end(B));
+      ns(Monster_weapons_end(B));
+  }
+  // Unions can get their type by using a type-specific add/create/start method.
+  ns(Monster_equipped_Weapon_add(B, axe));
+
+  ns(Monster_end_as_root(B));
+~~~
+</div>
+
+
+## Basic Reflection
+
+The C-API does support reading binary schema (.bfbs)
+files via code generated from the `reflection.fbs` schema, and an
+[example usage](https://github.com/dvidelabs/flatcc/tree/master/samples/reflection)
+shows how to use this. The reflection schema files are pre-generated
+in the [runtime distribution](https://github.com/dvidelabs/flatcc/tree/master/include/flatcc/reflection).
+
+
+## Mutations and Reflection
+
+The C-API does not support mutating reflection like C++ does, nor does
+the reader interface support mutating scalars (and it is generally
+unsafe to do so even after verification).
+
+The generated reader interface supports sorting vectors in-place after
+casting them to a mutating type because it is not practical to do so
+while building a buffer. This is covered in the builder documentation.  
+The reflection example makes use of this feature to look up objects by
+name.
+
+It is possible to build new buffers using complex objects from existing
+buffers as source. This can be very efficient due to direct copy
+semantics without endian conversion or temporary stack allocation.
+
+Scalars, structs and strings can be used as source, as well vectors of
+these.
+
+It is currently not possible to use an existing table or vector of table
+as source, but it would be possible to add support for this at some
+point.
+
+
+## Namespaces
+
+The `FLATBUFFERS_WRAP_NAMESPACE` approach used in the tutorial is convenient
+when each function has a very long namespace prefix. But it isn't always
+the best approach. If the namespace is absent, or simple and
+informative, we might as well use the prefix directly. The
+[reflection example](https://github.com/dvidelabs/flatcc/blob/master/samples/reflection/bfbs2json.c)
+mentioned above uses this approach.
+
+
+## Checking for Present Members
+
+Not all languages support testing if a field is present, but in C we can
+elaborate the reader section of the tutorial with tests for this. Recall
+that `mana` was set to the default value `150` and therefore shouldn't
+be present.
+
+<div class="language-c">
+~~~{.c}
+  int hp_present = ns(Monster_hp_is_present(monster)); // 1
+  int mana_present = ns(Monster_mana_is_present(monster)); // 0
+~~~
+</div>
+
+## Alternative ways to add a Union
+
+In the tutorial we used a single call to add a union.  Here we show
+different ways to accomplish the same thing. The last form is rarely
+used, but is the low-level way to do it. It can be used to group small
+values together in the table by adding type and data at different
+points in time.
+
+<div class="language-c">
+~~~{.c}
+   ns(Equipment_union_ref_t) equipped = ns(Equipment_as_Weapon(axe));
+   ns(Monster_equipped_add(B, equipped));
+   // or alternatively
+   ns(Monster_equipped_Weapon_add(B, axe);
+   // or alternatively
+   ns(Monster_equipped_add_type(B, ns(Equipment_Weapon));
+   ns(Monster_equipped_add_member(B, axe));
+~~~
+</div>
+
+## Why not integrate with the `flatc` tool?
+
+[It was considered how the C code generator could be integrated into the
+`flatc` tool](https://github.com/dvidelabs/flatcc/issues/1), but it
+would either require that the standalone C implementation of the schema
+compiler was dropped, or it would lead to excessive code duplication, or
+a complicated intermediate representation would have to be invented.
+Neither of these alternatives are very attractive, and it isn't a big
+deal to use the `flatcc` tool instead of `flatc` given that the
+FlatBuffers C runtime library needs to be made available regardless.

+## Object based API.  {#flatbuffers_cpp_object_based_api}
+
+FlatBuffers is all about memory efficiency, which is why its base API is written
+around using as little as possible of it. This does make the API clumsier
+(requiring pre-order construction of all data, and making mutation harder).
+
+For times when efficiency is less important a more convenient object based API
+can be used (through `--gen-object-api`) that is able to unpack & pack a
+FlatBuffer into objects and standard STL containers, allowing for convenient
+construction, access and mutation.
+
+To use:
+
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
+    // Autogenerated class from table Monster.
+    MonsterT monsterobj;
+
+    // Deserialize from buffer into object.
+    UnPackTo(&monsterobj, flatbuffer);
+
+    // Update object directly like a C++ class instance.
+    cout << monsterobj->name;  // This is now a std::string!
+    monsterobj->name = "Bob";  // Change the name.
+
+    // Serialize into new flatbuffer.
+    FlatBufferBuilder fbb;
+    Pack(fbb, &monsterobj);
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The following attributes are specific to the object-based API code generation:
+
+-   `native_inline` (on a field): Because FlatBuffer tables and structs are
+    optionally present in a given buffer, they are best represented as pointers
+    (specifically std::unique_ptrs) in the native class since they can be null.
+    This attribute changes the member declaration to use the type directly
+    rather than wrapped in a unique_ptr.
+
+-   `native_default`: "value" (on a field): For members that are declared
+    "native_inline", the value specified with this attribute will be included
+    verbatim in the class constructor initializer list for this member.
+
+-   `native_type`' "type" (on a struct): In some cases, a more optimal C++ data
+    type exists for a given struct.  For example, the following schema:
+
+      struct Vec2 {
+        x: float;
+        y: float;
+      }
+
+    generates the following Object-Based API class:
+
+      struct Vec2T : flatbuffers::NativeTable {
+        float x;
+        float y;
+      };
+
+    However, it can be useful to instead use a user-defined C++ type since it
+    can provide more functionality, eg.
+
+      struct vector2 {
+        float x = 0, y = 0;
+        vector2 operator+(vector2 rhs) const { ... }
+        vector2 operator-(vector2 rhs) const { ... }
+        float length() const { ... }
+        // etc.
+      };
+
+    The `native_type` attribute will replace the usage of the generated class
+    with the given type.  So, continuing with the example, the generated
+    code would use |vector2| in place of |Vec2T| for all generated code.
+
+    However, becuase the native_type is unknown to flatbuffers, the user must
+    provide the following functions to aide in the serialization process:
+
+      namespace flatbuffers {
+        FlatbufferStruct Pack(const native_type& obj);
+        native_type UnPack(const FlatbufferStruct& obj);
+      }
+
+Finally, the following top-level attribute
+
+-   native_include: "path" (at file level): Because the `native_type` attribute
+    can be used to introduce types that are unknown to flatbuffers, it may be
+    necessary to include "external" header files in the generated code.  This
+    attribute can be used to directly add an #include directive to the top of
+    the generated code that includes the specified path directly.
+
+# External references.
+
+An additional feature of the object API is the ability to allow you to load
+multiple independent FlatBuffers, and have them refer to eachothers objects
+using hashes which are then represented as typed pointers in the object API.
+
+To make this work have a field in the objects you want to referred to which is
+using the string hashing feature (see `hash` attribute in the
+[schema](@ref flatbuffers_guide_writing_schema) documentation). Then you have
+a similar hash in the field referring to it, along with a `cpp_type`
+attribute specifying the C++ type this will refer to (this can be any C++
+type, and will get a `*` added).
+
+Then, in JSON or however you create these buffers, make sure they use the
+same string (or hash).
+
+When you call `UnPack` (or `Create`), you'll need a function that maps from
+hash to the object (see `resolver_function_t` for details).
+
+# Using different pointer types.
+
+By default the object tree is built out of `std::unique_ptr`, but you can
+influence this either globally (using the `--cpp-ptr-type` argument to
+`flatc`) or per field (using the `cpp_ptr_type` attribute) to by any smart
+pointer type (`my_ptr<T>`), or by specifying `naked` as the type to get `T *`
+pointers. Unlike the smart pointers, naked pointers do not manage memory for
+you, so you'll have to manage their lifecycles manually.

+# Using different string type.
+
+By default the object tree is built out of `std::string`, but you can
+influence this either globally (using the `--cpp-str-type` argument to

+FlexBuffers    {#flexbuffers}
+==========
+
+FlatBuffers was designed around schemas, because when you want maximum
+performance and data consistency, strong typing is helpful.
+
+There are however times when you want to store data that doesn't fit a
+schema, because you can't know ahead of time what all needs to be stored.
+
+For this, FlatBuffers has a dedicated format, called FlexBuffers.
+This is a binary format that can be used in conjunction
+with FlatBuffers (by storing a part of a buffer in FlexBuffers
+format), or also as its own independent serialization format.
+
+While it loses the strong typing, you retain the most unique advantage
+FlatBuffers has over other serialization formats (schema-based or not):
+FlexBuffers can also be accessed without parsing / copying / object allocation.
+This is a huge win in efficiency / memory friendly-ness, and allows unique
+use cases such as mmap-ing large amounts of free-form data.
+
+FlexBuffers' design and implementation allows for a very compact encoding,
+combining automatic pooling of strings 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. While a schema-less representation is
+usually more bulky because of the need to be self-descriptive, FlexBuffers
+generates smaller binaries for many cases than regular FlatBuffers.
+
+FlexBuffers is still slower than regular FlatBuffers though, so we recommend to
+only use it if you need it.
+
+
+# Usage
+
+This is for C++, other languages may follow.
+
+Include the header `flexbuffers.h`, which in turn depends on `flatbuffers.h`
+and `util.h`.
+
+To create a buffer:
+
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
+flexbuffers::Builder fbb;
+fbb.Int(13);
+fbb.Finish();
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+You create any value, followed by `Finish`. Unlike FlatBuffers which requires
+the root value to be a table, here any value can be the root, including a lonely
+int value.
+
+You can now access the `std::vector<uint8_t>` that contains the encoded value
+as `fbb.GetBuffer()`. Write it, send it, or store it in a parent FlatBuffer. In
+this case, the buffer is just 3 bytes in size.
+
+To read this value back, you could just say:
+
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
+auto root = flexbuffers::GetRoot(my_buffer);
+int64_t i = root.AsInt64();
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+FlexBuffers stores ints only as big as needed, so it doesn't differentiate
+between different sizes of ints. You can ask for the 64 bit version,
+regardless of what you put in. In fact, since you demand to read the root
+as an int, if you supply a buffer that actually contains a float, or a
+string with numbers in it, it will convert it for you on the fly as well,
+or return 0 if it can't. If instead you actually want to know what is inside
+the buffer before you access it, you can call `root.GetType()` or `root.IsInt()`
+etc.
+
+Here's a slightly more complex value you could write instead of `fbb.Int` above:
+
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
+fbb.Map([&]() {
+  fbb.Vector("vec", [&]() {
+    fbb.Int(-100);
+    fbb.String("Fred");
+    fbb.IndirectFloat(4.0f);
+  });
+  fbb.UInt("foo", 100);
+});
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This stores the equivalent of the JSON value
+`{ vec: [ -100, "Fred", 4.0 ], foo: 100 }`. The root is a dictionary that has
+just two key-value pairs, with keys `vec` and `foo`. Unlike FlatBuffers, it
+actually has to store these keys in the buffer (which it does only once if
+you store multiple such objects, by pooling key values), but also unlike
+FlatBuffers it has no restriction on the keys (fields) that you use.
+
+The map constructor uses a C++11 Lambda to group its children, but you can
+also use more conventional start/end calls if you prefer.
+
+The first value in the map is a vector. You'll notice that unlike FlatBuffers,
+you can use mixed types. There is also a `TypedVector` variant that only
+allows a single type, and uses a bit less memory.
+
+`IndirectFloat` is an interesting feature that allows you to store values
+by offset rather than inline. Though that doesn't make any visible change
+to the user, the consequence is that large values (especially doubles or
+64 bit ints) that occur more than once can be shared. Another use case is
+inside of vectors, where the largest element makes up the size of all elements
+(e.g. a single double forces all elements to 64bit), so storing a lot of small
+integers together with a double is more efficient if the double is indirect.
+
+Accessing it:
+
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
+auto map = flexbuffers::GetRoot(my_buffer).AsMap();
+map.size();  // 2
+auto vec = map["vec"].AsVector();
+vec.size();  // 3
+vec[0].AsInt64();  // -100;
+vec[1].AsString().c_str();  // "Fred";
+vec[1].AsInt64();  // 0 (Number parsing failed).
+vec[2].AsDouble();  // 4.0
+vec[2].AsString().IsTheEmptyString();  // true (Wrong Type).
+vec[2].AsString().c_str();  // "" (This still works though).
+vec[2].ToString().c_str();  // "4" (Or have it converted).
+map["foo"].AsUInt8();  // 100
+map["unknown"].IsNull();  // true
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+
+# Binary encoding
+
+A description of how FlexBuffers are encoded is in the
+[internals](Internals.md#flexbuffers) document.
+
+
+# Nesting inside a FlatBuffer
+
+You can mark a field as containing a FlexBuffer, e.g.
+
+    a:[ubyte] (flexbuffer);
+
+A special accessor will be generated that allows you to access the root value
+directly, e.g. `a_flexbuffer_root().AsInt64()`.
+
+
+# Efficiency tips
+
+* Vectors generally are a lot more efficient than maps, so prefer them over maps
+  when possible for small objects. Instead of a map with keys `x`, `y` and `z`,
+  use a vector. Better yet, use a typed vector. Or even better, use a fixed
+  size typed vector.
+* Maps are backwards compatible with vectors, and can be iterated as such.
+  You can iterate either just the values (`map.Values()`), or in parallel with
+  the keys vector (`map.Keys()`). If you intend
+  to access most or all elements, this is faster than looking up each element
+  by key, since that involves a binary search of the key vector.
+* When possible, don't mix values that require a big bit width (such as double)
+  in a large vector of smaller values, since all elements will take on this
+  width. Use `IndirectDouble` when this is a possibility. Note that
+  integers automatically use the smallest width possible, i.e. if you ask
+  to serialize an int64_t whose value is actually small, you will use less
+  bits. Doubles are represented as floats whenever possible losslessly, but
+  this is only possible for few values.
+  Since nested vectors/maps are stored over offsets, they typically don't
+  affect the vector width.
+* To store large arrays of byte data, use a blob. If you'd use a typed
+  vector, the bit width of the size field may make it use more space than
+  expected, and may not be compatible with `memcpy`.
+  Similarly, large arrays of (u)int16_t may be better off stored as a
+  binary blob if their size could exceed 64k elements.
+  Construction and use are otherwise similar to strings.

+# FlexBuffers
+
+The [schema-less](@ref flexbuffers) version of FlatBuffers have their
+own encoding, detailed here.
+
+It shares many properties mentioned above, in that all data is accessed
+over offsets, all scalars are aligned to their own size, and
+all data is always stored in little endian format.
+
+One difference is that FlexBuffers are built front to back, so children are
+stored before parents, and the root of the data starts at the last byte.
+
+Another difference is that scalar data is stored with a variable number of bits
+(8/16/32/64). The current width is always determined by the *parent*, i.e. if
+the scalar sits in a vector, the vector determines the bit width for all
+elements at once. Selecting the minimum bit width for a particular vector is
+something the encoder does automatically and thus is typically of no concern
+to the user, though being aware of this feature (and not sticking a double in
+the same vector as a bunch of byte sized elements) is helpful for efficiency.
+
+Unlike FlatBuffers there is only one kind of offset, and that is an unsigned
+integer indicating the number of bytes in a negative direction from the address
+of itself (where the offset is stored).
+
+### Vectors
+
+The representation of the vector is at the core of how FlexBuffers works (since
+maps are really just a combination of 2 vectors), so it is worth starting there.
+
+As mentioned, a vector is governed by a single bit width (supplied by its
+parent). This includes the size field. For example, a vector that stores the
+integer values `1, 2, 3` is encoded as follows:
+
+    uint8_t 3, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4
+
+The first `3` is the size field, and is placed before the vector (an offset
+from the parent to this vector points to the first element, not the size
+field, so the size field is effectively at index -1).
+Since this is an untyped vector `SL_VECTOR`, it is followed by 3 type
+bytes (one per element of the vector), which are always following the vector,
+and are always a uint8_t even if the vector is made up of bigger scalars.
+
+### Types
+
+A type byte is made up of 2 components (see flexbuffers.h for exact values):
+
+* 2 lower bits representing the bit-width of the child (8, 16, 32, 64).
+  This is only used if the child is accessed over an offset, such as a child
+  vector. It is ignored for inline types.
+* 6 bits representing the actual type (see flexbuffers.h).
+
+Thus, in this example `4` means 8 bit child (value 0, unused, since the value is
+in-line), type `SL_INT` (value 1).
+
+### Typed Vectors
+
+These are like the Vectors above, but omit the type bytes. The type is instead
+determined by the vector type supplied by the parent. Typed vectors are only
+available for a subset of types for which these savings can be significant,
+namely inline signed/unsigned integers (`TYPE_VECTOR_INT` / `TYPE_VECTOR_UINT`),
+floats (`TYPE_VECTOR_FLOAT`), and keys (`TYPE_VECTOR_KEY`, see below).
+
+Additionally, for scalars, there are fixed length vectors of sizes 2 / 3 / 4
+that don't store the size (`TYPE_VECTOR_INT2` etc.), for an additional savings
+in space when storing common vector or color data.
+
+### Scalars
+
+FlexBuffers supports integers (`TYPE_INT` and `TYPE_UINT`) and floats
+(`TYPE_FLOAT`), available in the bit-widths mentioned above. They can be stored
+both inline and over an offset (`TYPE_INDIRECT_*`).
+
+The offset version is useful to encode costly 64bit (or even 32bit) quantities
+into vectors / maps of smaller sizes, and to share / repeat a value multiple
+times.
+
+### Blobs, Strings and Keys.
+
+A blob (`TYPE_BLOB`) is encoded similar to a vector, with one difference: the
+elements are always `uint8_t`. The parent bit width only determines the width of
+the size field, allowing blobs to be large without the elements being large.
+
+Strings (`TYPE_STRING`) are similar to blobs, except they have an additional 0
+termination byte for convenience, and they MUST be UTF-8 encoded (since an
+accessor in a language that does not support pointers to UTF-8 data may have to
+convert them to a native string type).
+
+A "Key" (`TYPE_KEY`) is similar to a string, but doesn't store the size
+field. They're so named because they are used with maps, which don't care
+for the size, and can thus be even more compact. Unlike strings, keys cannot
+contain bytes of value 0 as part of their data (size can only be determined by
+`strlen`), so while you can use them outside the context of maps if you so
+desire, you're usually better off with strings.
+
+### Maps
+
+A map (`TYPE_MAP`) is like an (untyped) vector, but with 2 prefixes before the
+size field:
+
+| index | field                                                        |
+| ----: | :----------------------------------------------------------- |
+| -3    | An offset to the keys vector (may be shared between tables). |
+| -2    | Byte width of the keys vector.                               |
+| -1    | Size (from here on it is compatible with `TYPE_VECTOR`)      |
+| 0     | Elements.                                                    |
+| Size  | Types.                                                       |
+
+Since a map is otherwise the same as a vector, it can be iterated like
+a vector (which is probably faster than lookup by key).
+
+The keys vector is a typed vector of keys. Both the keys and corresponding
+values *have* to be stored in sorted order (as determined by `strcmp`), such
+that lookups can be made using binary search.
+
+The reason the key vector is a seperate structure from the value vector is
+such that it can be shared between multiple value vectors, and also to
+allow it to be treated as its own indivual vector in code.
+
+An example map { foo: 13, bar: 14 } would be encoded as:
+
+    0 : uint8_t 'f', 'o', 'o', 0
+    4 : uint8_t 'b', 'a', 'r', 0
+    8 : uint8_t 2      // key vector of size 2
+    // key vector offset points here
+    9 : uint8_t 9, 6   // offsets to foo_key and bar_key
+    11: uint8_t 3, 1   // offset to key vector, and its byte width
+    13: uint8_t 2      // value vector of size
+    // value vector offset points here
+    14: uint8_t 13, 14 // values
+    16: uint8_t 4, 4   // types
+
+### The root
+
+As mentioned, the root starts at the end of the buffer.
+The last uint8_t is the width in bytes of the root (normally the parent
+determines the width, but the root has no parent). The uint8_t before this is
+the type of the root, and the bytes before that are the root value (of the
+number of bytes specified by the last byte).
+
+So for example, the integer value `13` as root would be:
+
+    uint8_t 13, 4, 1    // Value, type, root byte width.

+    `createSortedVectorOfTables` (from the `FlatBufferBuilder` object) in Java,
+    which will first sort all offsets such that the tables they refer to
+    are sorted by the key field, then serialize it.
+-   Now when you're accessing the FlatBuffer, you can use
+    the `ByKey` accessor to access elements of the vector, e.g.:
+    `monster.testarrayoftablesByKey("Frodo")` in Java or
+    `monster.TestarrayoftablesByKey("Frodo")` in C#,
+    which returns an object of the corresponding table type,
+    or `null` if not found.
+    `ByKey` performs a binary search, so should have a similar
+    speed to `Dictionary`, though may be faster because of better caching.
+    `ByKey` only works if the vector has been sorted, it will

+## Guidelines
+
+### Efficiency
+
+FlatBuffers is all about efficiency, but to realize that efficiency you
+require an efficient schema. There are usually multiple choices on
+how to represent data that have vastly different size characteristics.
+
+It is very common nowadays to represent any kind of data as dictionaries
+(as in e.g. JSON), because of its flexibility and extensibility. While
+it is possible to emulate this in FlatBuffers (as a vector
+of tables with key and value(s)), this is a bad match for a strongly
+typed system like FlatBuffers, leading to relatively large binaries.
+FlatBuffer tables are more flexible than classes/structs in most systems,
+since having a large number of fields only few of which are actually
+used is still efficient. You should thus try to organize your data
+as much as possible such that you can use tables where you might be
+tempted to use a dictionary.
+
+Similarly, strings as values should only be used when they are
+truely open-ended. If you can, always use an enum instead.
+
+FlatBuffers doesn't have inheritance, so the way to represent a set
+of related data structures is a union. Unions do have a cost however,
+so an alternative to a union is to have a single table that has
+all the fields of all the data structures you are trying to
+represent, if they are relatively similar / share many fields.
+Again, this is efficient because optional fields are cheap.
+
+FlatBuffers supports the full range of integer sizes, so try to pick
+the smallest size needed, rather than defaulting to int/long.
+
+Remember that you can share data (refer to the same string/table
+within a buffer), so factoring out repeating data into its own
+data structure may be worth it.
+
+### Style guide
+
+Identifiers in a schema are meant to translate to many different programming
+languages, so using the style of your "main" language is generally a bad idea.
+
+For this reason, below is a suggested style guide to adhere to, to keep schemas
+consistent for interoperation regardless of the target language.
+
+Where possible, the code generators for specific languages will generate
+identifiers that adhere to the language style, based on the schema identifiers.
+
+- Table, struct, enum and rpc names (types): UpperCamelCase.
+- Table and struct field names: snake_case. This is translated to lowerCamelCase
+  automatically for some languages, e.g. Java.
+- Enum values: UpperCamelCase.
+- namespaces: UpperCamelCase.
+
+Formatting (this is less important, but still worth adhering to):
+
+- Opening brace: on the same line as the start of the declaration.
+- Spacing: Indent by 2 spaces. None around `:` for types, on both sides for `=`.
+
+For an example, see the schema at the top of this file.

+### Testing whether a field is present in a table
+
+Most serialization formats (e.g. JSON or Protocol Buffers) make it very
+explicit in the format whether a field is present in an object or not,
+allowing you to use this as "extra" information.
+
+In FlatBuffers, this also holds for everything except scalar values.
+
+FlatBuffers by default will not write fields that are equal to the default
+value (for scalars), sometimes resulting in a significant space savings.
+
+However, this also means testing whether a field is "present" is somewhat
+meaningless, since it does not tell you if the field was actually written by
+calling `add_field` style calls, unless you're only interested in this
+information for non-default values.
+
+Some `FlatBufferBuilder` implementations have an option called `force_defaults`
+that circumvents this behavior, and writes fields even if they are equal to
+the default. You can then use `IsFieldPresent` to query this.
+
+Another option that works in all languages is to wrap a scalar field in a
+struct. This way it will return null if it is not present. The cool thing
+is that structs don't take up any more space than the scalar they represent.

+Use in C++    {#flatbuffers_grpc_guide_use_cpp}
+==========
+
+## Before you get started
+
+Before diving into the FlatBuffers gRPC usage in C++, you should already be
+familiar with the following:
+
+- FlatBuffers as a serialization format
+- [gRPC](http://www.grpc.io/docs/) usage
+
+## Using the FlatBuffers gRPC C++ library
+
+NOTE: The examples below are also in the `grpc/samples/greeter` directory.
+
+We will illustrate usage with the following schema:
+
+@include grpc/samples/greeter/greeter.fbs
+
+When we run `flatc`, we pass in the `--grpc` option and generage an additional
+`greeter.grpc.fb.h` and `greeter.grpc.fb.cc`.
+
+Example server code looks like this:
+
+@include grpc/samples/greeter/server.cpp
+
+Example client code looks like this:
+
+@include grpc/samples/greeter/client.cpp

+GRPC implementation and test
+============================
+
+NOTE: files in `src/` are shared with the GRPC project, and maintained there
+(any changes should be submitted to GRPC instead). These files are copied
+from GRPC, and work with both the Protobuf and FlatBuffers code generator.
+
+`tests/` contains a GRPC specific test, you need to have built and installed
+the GRPC libraries for this to compile. This test will build using the
+`FLATBUFFERS_BUILD_GRPCTEST` option to the main FlatBuffers CMake project.
