* added bool for nested_flatbuffer setting bool flag nested_flatbuffer according to attributes setting nested type * added JSON serialization for nested flatbuffers * simplified lookup of nested_flatbuffer StructDef * added nested_flatbuffer parsing workound relying on flexbuffers * moved nested flatbuffer parsing into its own function for clarity removed flexbuffers workound to simplify and speed up nested_flatbuffer parsing added support for 'legacy' nested_flatbuffers, ubyte arrays * inlined functions for nested parser init/clean since only used once * whitespace formatting * changed type of FieldDef.nested_flatbuffer from bool to StructDef* removed subsequent type lookups * removed copies of unrequired data when initializing nested parser * applied changes requested by reviewer * removed superfluous lookup of nested_flatbuffer field attributes * renamed camelCased variables to snake_case
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.
