+## Support of floating-point numbers
+The Flatbuffers library assumes that a C++ compiler and a CPU are
+compatible with the `IEEE-754` floating-point standard.
+The schema and json parser may fail if `fast-math` or `/fp:fast` mode is active.
+
+### Support of hexadecimal and special floating-point numbers
+According to the [grammar](@ref flatbuffers_grammar) `fbs` and `json` files
+may use hexadecimal and special (`NaN`, `Inf`) floating-point literals.
+The Flatbuffers uses `strtof` and `strtod` functions to parse floating-point
+literals. The Flatbuffers library has a code to detect a compiler compatibility
+with the literals. If necessary conditions are met the preprocessor constant
+`FLATBUFFERS_HAS_NEW_STRTOD` will be set to `1`.
+The support of floating-point literals will be limited at compile time
+if `FLATBUFFERS_HAS_NEW_STRTOD` constant is less than `1`.
+In this case, schemas with hexadecimal or special literals cannot be used.
+
+### Comparison of floating-point NaN values
+The floating-point `NaN` (`not a number`) is special value which
+representing an undefined or unrepresentable value.
+`NaN` may be explicitly assigned to variables, typically as a representation
+for missing values or may be a result of a mathematical operation.
+The `IEEE-754` defines two kind of `NaNs`:
+- Quiet NaNs, or `qNaNs`.
+- Signaling NaNs, or `sNaNs`.
+
+According to the `IEEE-754`, a comparison with `NaN` always returns
+an unordered result even when compared with itself. As a result, a whole
+Flatbuffers object will be not equal to itself if has one or more `NaN`.
+Flatbuffers scalar fields that have the default value are not actually stored
+in the serialized data but are generated in code (see [Writing a schema](@ref flatbuffers_guide_writing_schema)).
+Scalar fields with `NaN` defaults break this behavior.
+If a schema has a lot of `NaN` defaults the Flatbuffers can override
+the unordered comparison by the ordered: `(NaN==NaN)->true`.
+This ordered comparison is enabled when compiling a program with the symbol
+`FLATBUFFERS_NAN_DEFAULTS` defined.
+Additional computations added by `FLATBUFFERS_NAN_DEFAULTS` are very cheap
+if GCC or Clang used. These compilers have a compile-time implementation
+of `isnan` checking which MSVC does not.

+Use in C#    {#flatbuffers_guide_use_c-sharp}
+==============
+
+## Before you get started
+
+Before diving into the FlatBuffers usage in C#, it should be noted that
+the [Tutorial](@ref flatbuffers_guide_tutorial) page has a complete guide to
+general FlatBuffers usage in all of the supported languages (including C#).
+This page is designed to cover the nuances of FlatBuffers usage,
+specific to C#.
+
+You should also have read the [Building](@ref flatbuffers_guide_building)
+documentation to build `flatc` and should be familiar with
+[Using the schema compiler](@ref flatbuffers_guide_using_schema_compiler) and
+[Writing a schema](@ref flatbuffers_guide_writing_schema).
+
+## FlatBuffers C-sharp code location
+
+The code for the FlatBuffers C# library can be found at
+`flatbuffers/net/FlatBuffers`. You can browse the library on the
+[FlatBuffers GitHub page](https://github.com/google/flatbuffers/tree/master/net/
+FlatBuffers).
+
+## Testing the FlatBuffers C-sharp libraries
+
+The code to test the libraries can be found at `flatbuffers/tests`.
+
+The test code for C# is located in the [FlatBuffers.Test](https://github.com/
+google/flatbuffers/tree/master/tests/FlatBuffers.Test) subfolder. To run the
+tests, open `FlatBuffers.Test.csproj` in [Visual Studio](
+https://www.visualstudio.com), and compile/run the project.
+
+Optionally, you can run this using [Mono](http://www.mono-project.com/) instead.
+Once you have installed `Mono`, you can run the tests from the command line
+by running the following commands from inside the `FlatBuffers.Test` folder:
+
+~~~{.sh}
+  mcs *.cs ../MyGame/Example/*.cs ../../net/FlatBuffers/*.cs
+  mono Assert.exe
+~~~
+
+## Using the FlatBuffers C# library
+
+*Note: See [Tutorial](@ref flatbuffers_guide_tutorial) for a more in-depth
+example of how to use FlatBuffers in C#.*
+
+FlatBuffers supports reading and writing binary FlatBuffers in C#.
+
+To use FlatBuffers in your own code, first generate C# classes from your
+schema with the `--csharp` option to `flatc`.
+Then you can include both FlatBuffers and the generated code to read
+or write a FlatBuffer.
+
+For example, here is how you would read a FlatBuffer binary file in C#:
+First, import the library and generated code. Then, you read a FlatBuffer binary
+file into a `byte[]`.  You then turn the `byte[]` into a `ByteBuffer`, which you
+pass to the `GetRootAsMyRootType` function:
+
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cs}
+    using MyGame.Example;
+    using FlatBuffers;
+
+    // This snippet ignores exceptions for brevity.
+    byte[] data = File.ReadAllBytes("monsterdata_test.mon");
+
+    ByteBuffer bb = new ByteBuffer(data);
+    Monster monster = Monster.GetRootAsMonster(bb);
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Now you can access the data from the `Monster monster`:
+
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cs}
+    short hp = monster.Hp;
+    Vec3 pos = monster.Pos;
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+C# code naming follows standard C# style with `PascalCasing` identifiers,
+e.g. `GetRootAsMyRootType`. Also, values (except vectors and unions) are
+available as properties instead of parameterless accessor methods.
+The performance-enhancing methods to which you can pass an already created
+object are prefixed with `Get`, e.g.:
+
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cs}
+    // property
+    var pos = monster.Pos;
+
+    // method filling a preconstructed object
+    var preconstructedPos = new Vec3();
+    monster.GetPos(preconstructedPos);
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+## Storing dictionaries in a FlatBuffer
+
+FlatBuffers doesn't support dictionaries natively, but there is support to
+emulate their behavior with vectors and binary search, which means you
+can have fast lookups directly from a FlatBuffer without having to unpack
+your data into a `Dictionary` or similar.
+
+To use it:
+-   Designate one of the fields in a table as the "key" field. You do this
+    by setting the `key` attribute on this field, e.g.
+    `name:string (key)`.
+    You may only have one key field, and it must be of string or scalar type.
+-   Write out tables of this type as usual, collect their offsets in an
+    array.
+-   Instead of calling standard generated method,
+    e.g.: `Monster.createTestarrayoftablesVector`,
+    call `CreateSortedVectorOfMonster` in C#
+    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 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
+    likely not find elements if it hasn't been sorted.
+
+## Text parsing
+
+There currently is no support for parsing text (Schema's and JSON) directly
+from C#, though you could use the C++ parser through native call
+interfaces available to each language. Please see the
+C++ documentation for more on text parsing.
+
+## 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 System.Collections.Generic containers, allowing for convenient
+construction, access and mutation.
+
+To use:
+
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cs}
+    // Deserialize from buffer into object.
+    MonsterT monsterobj = GetMonster(flatbuffer).UnPack();
+
+    // Update object directly like a C# class instance.
+    Console.WriteLine(monsterobj.Name);
+    monsterobj.Name = "Bob";  // Change the name.
+
+    // Serialize into new flatbuffer.
+    FlatBufferBuilder fbb = new FlatBufferBuilder(1);
+    fbb.Finish(Monster.Pack(fbb, monsterobj).Value);
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+### Json Serialization
+
+An additional feature of the object API is the ability to allow you to
+serialize & deserialize a JSON text. 
+To use Json Serialization, add `--gen-json-serializer` option to `flatc` and
+add `Newtonsoft.Json` nuget package to csproj.
+
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cs}
+    // Deserialize MonsterT from json
+    string jsonText = File.ReadAllText(@"Resources/monsterdata_test.json");
+    MonsterT mon = MonsterT.DeserializeFromJson(jsonText);
+
+    // Serialize MonsterT to json
+    string jsonText2 = mon.SerializeToJson();
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+* Limitation
+  * `hash` attribute currentry not supported.
+* NuGet package Dependency
+  * [Newtonsoft.Json](https://github.com/JamesNK/Newtonsoft.Json)

+
+## Kotlin and FlatBuffers Java code location
+
+Code generated for Kotlin currently uses the flatbuffers java runtime library. That means that Kotlin generated code can only have Java virtual machine as target architecture (which includes Android). Kotlin Native and Kotlin.js are currently not supported.
+
+The code for the FlatBuffers Java library can be found at
+`flatbuffers/java/com/google/flatbuffers`. You can browse the library on the

+FlatBuffers supports reading and writing binary FlatBuffers in Kotlin.
+
+To use FlatBuffers in your own code, first generate Java classes from your
+schema with the `--kotlin` option to `flatc`.
+Then you can include both FlatBuffers and the generated code to read
+or write a FlatBuffer.
+
+For example, here is how you would read a FlatBuffer binary file in Kotlin:
+First, import the library and generated code. Then, you read a FlatBuffer binary
+file into a `ByteArray`.  You then turn the `ByteArray` into a `ByteBuffer`, which you
+pass to the `getRootAsMyRootType` function:
+
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.kt}
+    import MyGame.Example.*
+    import com.google.flatbuffers.FlatBufferBuilder
+
+    // This snippet ignores exceptions for brevity.
+    val data = RandomAccessFile(File("monsterdata_test.mon"), "r").use {
+        val temp = ByteArray(it.length().toInt())
+        it.readFully(temp)
+        temp
+    }
+
+    val bb = ByteBuffer.wrap(data)
+    val monster = Monster.getRootAsMonster(bb)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Now you can access the data from the `Monster monster`:

+## Differences between Kotlin and Java code
+
+Kotlin generated code was designed to be as close as possible to the java counterpart, as for now, we only support kotlin on java virtual machine. So the differences in implementation and usage are basically the ones introduced by the Kotlin language itself. You can find more in-depth information [here](https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/comparison-to-java.html).
+
+The most obvious ones are:
+
+* Fields as accessed as Kotlin [properties](https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/properties.html)
+* Static methods are accessed in [companion object](https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/classes.html#companion-objects)

+
+To run the tests, use the [SwiftTest.sh](https://github.com/google/flatbuffers/blob/master/tests/FlatBuffers.Test.Swift/SwiftTest.sh) shell script.
+
+*Note: The shell script requires [Swift](https://swift.org) to

+
+## Using the FlatBuffers Swift library
+
+*Note: See [Tutorial](@ref flatbuffers_guide_tutorial) for a more in-depth
+example of how to use FlatBuffers in Swift.*
+
+FlatBuffers supports reading and writing binary FlatBuffers in Swift.
+
+To use FlatBuffers in your own code, first generate Swift structs from your
+schema with the `--swift` option to `flatc`. Then include FlatBuffers using `SPM` in
+by adding the path to `FlatBuffers/swift` into it. The generated code should also be
+added to xcode or the path of the package you will be using. Note: sometimes xcode cant
+and wont see the generated files, so it's better that you copy them to xcode.
+
+For example, here is how you would read a FlatBuffer binary file in Swift: First,
+include the library and copy thegenerated code. Then read a FlatBuffer binary file or
+a data object from the server, which you can pass into the `GetRootAsMonster` function.
+
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.swift}
+    import FlatBuffers
+
+    typealias Monster1 = MyGame.Sample.Monster
+    typealias Vec3 = MyGame.Sample.Vec3
+
+    let path = FileManager.default.currentDirectoryPath
+    let url = URL(fileURLWithPath: path, isDirectory: true).appendingPathComponent("monsterdata_test").appendingPathExtension("mon")
+    guard let data = try? Data(contentsOf: url) else { return }
+
+    let monster = Monster.getRootAsMonster(bb: ByteBuffer(data: data))
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Now you can access values like this:
+
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.swift}
+    let hp = monster.hp
+    let pos = monster.pos
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+
+In some cases it's necessary to modify values in an existing FlatBuffer in place (without creating a copy). For this reason, scalar fields of a Flatbuffer table or struct can be mutated.
+
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.swift}
+    let monster = Monster.getRootAsMonster(bb: ByteBuffer(data: data))
+
+    if !monster.mutate(hp: 10) {
+      fatalError("couldn't mutate")
+    }
+    // mutate a struct field
+    let vec = monster.pos.mutate(z: 4)
+
+    // This mutation will fail because the mana field is not available in
+    // the buffer. It should be set when creating the buffer.
+    if !monster.mutate(mana: 20) {
+      fatalError("couldn't mutate")
+    }

+#### 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
