1Platform / Language / Feature support {#flatbuffers_support}
2=====================================
3
4FlatBuffers is actively being worked on, which means that certain platform /
5language / feature combinations may not be available yet.
6
7This page tries to track those issues, to make informed decisions easier.
8In general:
9
10 * Languages: language support beyond the ones created by the original
11 FlatBuffer authors typically depends on community contributions.
12 * Features: C++ was the first language supported, since our original
13 target was high performance game development. It thus has the richest
14 feature set, and is likely most robust. Other languages are catching up
15 however.
16 * Platforms: All language implementations are typically portable to most
17 platforms, unless where noted otherwise.
