Removes the following allocations: - ``CharsetDecoder`` is reused between calls - ``CharBuffer#wrap`` removed in favor of heap based char buffer that is reused - Temporary ``char[]``, an intermediate copy inside ``StringCoding`` - Another ``char[]``, this is needed because ``StringCoding`` uses a ``CharBuffer`` internally but returns a ``char[]``. Extra characters need to be trimmed so this means yet another allocation - Yet another ``char[]`` directly from ``__string`` for non-heap based buffers Removes the following copies - No copy is performed to trim the allocation since a ``CharBuffer`` is used directly - For non-heap based byte buffers, removes the copy that was previously done in the __string function This does need to get the TLS entry which implies at least some contention on the thread object table and a fence.
FlatBuffers 
FlatBuffers is an efficient cross platform serialization library for games and other memory constrained apps. It allows you to directly access serialized data without unpacking/parsing it first, while still having great forwards/backwards compatibility.

Integration
For applications on Google Play that integrate this tool, usage is tracked.
This tracking is done automatically using the embedded version string
(flatbuffer_version_string), and helps us continue to optimize it. Aside from
consuming a few extra bytes in your application binary, it shouldn't affect
your application at all. We use this information to let us know if FlatBuffers
is useful and if we should continue to invest in it. Since this is open
source, you are free to remove the version string but we would appreciate if
you would leave it in.
