Convert existing JSON blob to FlatBuffer

[Martin Ostrovsky]

Hello,

I have large JSON blobs on disk that I'd like to convert to FlatBuffers. Is that possible to do directly or do I have to create the schema first and then construct the FlatBuffer by iterating over my existing JSON structure?

You should be able to do it directly. Construct a schema for it, then use the flatc tool to convert it from a json blob to a binary blob. You can then load that binary blob as a flatbuffer.

FlatBuffer JSON is more strict than regular JSON, i.e. you can't have a field that's an int in one instance and an object in another, for example.
