ZeroBuf implements zero-copy, zero-serialize, zero-hassle protocol buffers. It is a replacement for FlatBuffers, resolving the following shortcomings:

• Direct get and set functionality on the defined data members
• A single memory buffer storing all data members, which is directly serializable
• Usable, random read and write access to the the data members
• Zero copy of the data used by the (C++) implementation from and to the network
