* Add suppport for ES6 style exports Adds support for ECMAScript 6 module exports during Javascript generation. This is useful as many development projects are switching to this new standard and away from custom module solutions. By integrating support into flatbuffers, users do not need to perform additional post-processing of generated files in order to use flatbuffers output directly in their codebases. Reference to ECMAScript 6 modules: https://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/6.0/#sec-exports Changes: * Added `--es6-js-export` option to cli parser tool * Added conditional code to generate a ES6 style export line, replacing the normal NodeJS/RequireJS line. * Fixed missing export statements Added exports for definition and struct names that were not inside namespaces * Updated Compiler.md with new generator option Added entry to Compiler.md in docs for the `--es6-js-export` flag, including a brief description of the effects and usefulness.
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.
