* Offical Swift port for FlexBuffers This is the offical port for FlexBuffers within swift, and it introcudes a Common Module where code is shared between flatbuffers and flexbuffers. Writing most supported values like maps, vectors, nil and scalars into a flexbuffer buffer. And includes tests to verify that its similar to cpp * Reading a flexbuffer Implementing reading from a flexbuffer, enabling most of the buffers features, like most types, maps, vectors, typedvectors, and fixedtypedvectors. Currently, if an offset/object cant be read we default to a swift nil instead of the default flexbuffers 'null' with all values. * Fixes bazel breaking due to new project structure Address warnings within the library * Adds comment on why we added the code & properly enforce the amout of bytes needed
Languages known issues
Python
- Assert the type required in your server/client since python is able to receive
Bytes arrayorutf8 strings.
def SayHello(self, request, context):
# request might be a byte array or a utf8 string
r = HelloRequest.HelloRequest().GetRootAs(request, 0)
reply = "Unknown"
if r.Name():
reply = r.Name()
# Issues might happen if type checking isnt present.
# thus encoding it as a `reply.decode('UTF-8')`
return build_reply("welcome " + reply.decode('UTF-8'))
This can be prevented by making sure all the requests coming to/from python are Bytes array
def say_hello(stub, builder):
hello_request = bytes(builder.Output())
reply = stub.SayHello(hello_request)
r = HelloReply.HelloReply.GetRootAs(reply)
print(r.Message())
Go
- Always requires the
content-typeof the payload to be set toapplication/grpc+flatbuffers
example: .SayHello(ctx, b, grpc.CallContentSubtype("flatbuffers"))
