This project brings FlatBuffers (an efficient cross platform serialization library) to Swift.

There are three simple steps for you to use FlatBuffersSwift

table List {
  people : [Person];
}

table Person {
  firstName : string;
  lastName : string;
}

root_type List;

fbsCG console application can be found here: https://github.com/mzaks/FlatBuffersSwiftCodeGen To generate, please execute it as following: fbsCG contacts.fbs contacts.swift

Create objects and encode them

let p1 = Person(firstName: "Maxim", lastName: "Zaks")
let p2 = Person(firstName: "Alex", lastName: "Zaks")
let list = List(people: [p1, p2])
let data = try?list.makeData()

Decode data very efficiently

let newList = List.from(data: data)
let name = newList?.people[0].firstName
