Compile time tools for integrating FlatSharp with FBS schemas.
$ dotnet add package FlatSharp.CompilerThanks for using FlatSharp! FlatSharp is a C# FlatBuffers implementation designed to be secure, fast, and easy to use.
FlatSharp is open source. Find it on GitHub! Issues, contributions, and other feedback are always welcome. Don't be a stranger! If you have feedback to share, please consider filling out the form here!
FlatSharp is free and always will be. However, the project does take a significant amount of time to maintain. If you or your organization find the project useful, please consider a Github sponsorship. Any amount is appreciated!
Reference both FlatSharp.Runtime and FlatSharp.Compiler. Use the same version for them both.
