How to Work with FlatBuffers in Rust

You work with FlatBuffers in Rust by defining a schema, compiling it with flatc, and using the generated code to serialize and deserialize data without copying.

// 1. Define schema (game.fbs)
// 2. Compile: flatc -c game.fbs
// 3. Use generated code
use flatbuffers::FlatBufferBuilder;

fn main() {
    let mut builder = FlatBufferBuilder::new();
    // Build your object using generated methods
    // builder.finish(root_table, None);
    // let bytes = builder.finished_data();
}

FlatBuffers lets you save and load data in Rust without the slow step of converting it back and forth. Think of it like packing a suitcase where you can grab an item directly without unpacking the whole bag first. You use it when you need to read data very quickly, like in games or network apps.
