+#### FlatBuffer binary to JSON
+
+Converting from a FlatBuffer binary representation to JSON is supported as well:
+~~~{.sh}
+./../flatc --json --raw-binary monster.fbs -- monsterdata.bin
+~~~
+This will convert `monsterdata.bin` back to its original JSON representation.
+You need to pass the corresponding FlatBuffers schema so that flatc knows how to 
+interpret the binary buffer. Since `monster.fbs` does not specify an explicit 
+`file_identifier` for binary buffers, `flatc` needs to be forced into reading 
+the `.bin` file using the `--raw-binary` option.
+
+The FlatBuffer binary representation does not explicitly encode default values, 
+therefore they are not present in the resulting JSON unless you specify 
+`--defaults-json`.
+
+If you intend to process the JSON with other tools, you may consider switching
+on `--strict-json` so that identifiers are quoted properly.
+
+*Note: The resulting JSON file is not necessarily identical with the original JSON.
+If the binary representation contains floating point numbers, floats and doubles
+are rounded to 6 and 12 digits, respectively, in order to represent them as 
+decimals in the JSON document. *
