FlatBuffer schema files can now optionally specify a hash attribute that will allow someone writing json files to enter a string to be hashed rather than a specific value. The hashing algorithm to use is specified by the schema. Currently the only algorithms are fnv1 and fnv1a. There are 32 bit and 64 variatns for each. Additionally, a hashing command line tool was added so that you can see what a string will hash to without needing to inspect the flatbuffer binary blob.

FlatBuffers Version 1.0
Welcome to FlatBuffers!
FlatBuffers is a serialization library for games and other memory constrained apps. Go to our landing page to browse our documentation.
FlatBuffers allows you to directly access serialized data without
unpacking/parsing it first, while still having great forwards/backwards
compatibility. FlatBuffers can be built for many different systems (Android,
Windows, OS X, Linux), see docs/html/index.html
Discuss FlatBuffers with other developers and users on the FlatBuffers Google Group. File issues on the FlatBuffers Issues Tracker or post your questions to stackoverflow.com with a mention of flatbuffers.
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.
