### Quick Start

#### 1. Reference FlatSharp
Reference both `FlatSharp.Runtime` and `FlatSharp.Compiler`. Use the same version for them both.

#### 2. Define a Schema

```idl
// all FlatSharp FBS attributes start with the 'fs_' prefix.
attribute "fs_serializer";

namespace MyNamespace;

enum Color : ubyte { Red = 1, Green, Blue }

table Person (fs_serializer) {
    Id:int;
    Name:string;
    Parent:Person (deprecated);
    Children:[Person];
    FavoriteColor:Color = Blue;
    Position:Location;
}

struct Location {
    Latitude:float;
    Longitude:float;
}
```

#### 3. Update Your csproj
```xml
   <ItemGroup>
     <FlatSharpSchema Include="YourSchema.fbs" />
   </ItemGroup>
```

#### 4. Serialize Your Data
```c#
Person person = new Person(...);
int maxBytesNeeded = Person.Serializer.GetMaxSize(person);
byte[] buffer = new byte[maxBytesNeeded];
int bytesWritten = Person.Serializer.Serialize(buffer, person);
```

#### 5. Parse Your Data

```c#
Person p = Person.Serializer.Parse(data);
```
