About:
Planus is an alternative compiler for FlatBuffers schema files, designed to generate high-performance serialization code. It focuses on correctness, modern tooling, and robust Rust integration. Its main value proposition is providing a reliable and fast implementation for projects requiring efficient binary serialization.
Key Features:
  • Generates Rust code with strong type safety
  • Improved error reporting and validation
  • Fast compilation and runtime performance
  • Modern CLI and tooling integration
Use Cases:
  • High-performance game development requiring fast serialization
  • Embedded systems with constrained memory and CPU resources
  • Microservices architecture needing efficient inter-service communication
Alternatives:
  • flatbuffers – The official C++ based compiler; Planus aims to be a more modern, robust, and Rust-native alternative.
  • protobuf – Google's Protocol Buffers; Planus is specifically for the FlatBuffers binary format, which offers zero-copy deserialization.
