Flatbuffer Example:
namespace demo;
table Node {
namespace demo;
table Node {
parent: Node (fory_weak_ref: true);
children: [Node] (fory_ref: true);
cached: Node (fory_ref: true, fory_thread_safe_pointer: false);
}Protobuf Example:
syntax = "proto3";
message TreeNode {
syntax = "proto3";
message TreeNode {
TreeNode parent = 1 [(fory).weak_ref = true];
repeated TreeNode children = 2 [(fory).ref = true];
}
With fory first-class object graph serialziation support, you can serialize object graphs without manual *_id link reconstruction or rewriting your entire schema into Fory Schema.
