[Python] Render enums as Python IntEnum (#8145) This allows enums to be type check with mypy. They will still behave like ints -> > IntEnum is the same as Enum, > but its members are also integers and can be used anywhere > that an integer can be used. > If any integer operation is performed with an IntEnum member, > the resulting value loses its enumeration status. https://docs.python.org/3/library/enum.html#enum.IntEnum Only if the --python-typing flag is set.
FlatBuffers
FlatBuffers is a cross platform serialization library architected for maximum memory efficiency. It allows you to directly access serialized data without parsing/unpacking it first, while still having great forwards/backwards compatibility.
Build the compiler for flatbuffers (flatc)
Use cmake to create the build files for your platform and then perform the compliation (Linux example).
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" make -j
Define your flatbuffer schema (.fbs)
Write the schema to define the data you want to serialize. See monster.fbs for an example.
Generate code for your language(s)
Use the flatc compiler to take your schema and generate language-specific code:
./flatc --cpp --rust monster.fbs
Which generates monster_generated.h and monster_generated.rs files.
Serialize data
Use the generated code, as well as the FlatBufferBuilder to construct your serialized buffer. (C++ example)
Transmit/store/save Buffer
Use your serialized buffer however you want. Send it to someone, save it for later, etc...
Read the data
Use the generated accessors to read the data from the serialized buffer.
It doesn't need to be the same language/schema version, FlatBuffers ensures the data is readable across languages and schema versions. See the Rust example reading the data written by C++.

FlatBuffers does not follow traditional SemVer versioning (see rationale) but rather uses a format of the date of the release.
