Previously when parsing a JSON representation of a Flatbuffer, the parser required that the input string contain one and only one root table. This change adds a flag that removes that requirement, so that if a Flatbuffer table is embedded in some larger string the parser will simply stop parsing once it reaches the end of the root table, and does not validate that it has reached the end of the string. This change also adds a BytesConsumed function, which returns the number of bytes the parser consumed. This is useful if the table embedded in some larger string that is being parsed, and that outer parser needs to know how many bytes the table was so that it can step over it.
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.
