Each constituent buffer is first compressed with the indicated compressor, and then written with the uncompressed length in the first 8 bytes as a 64-bit little-endian signed integer followed by the compressed buffer bytes (and then padding as required by the protocol).

The stream makes use of compressed bodies as described in Message.fbs.

The stream makes use of multiple full dictionaries with the same ID and assumes clients implement dictionary replacement correctly.

/ Opaque binary data.

/ Logically the same as Binary, but the internal representation uses a view / struct that contains the string length and either the string's entire data / inline (for small strings) or an inlined prefix, an index of another buffer, / and an offset pointing to a slice in that buffer (for non-small strings).

/ Optional compression for the memory buffers constituting IPC message / bodies.

/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- / A Buffer represents a single contiguous memory segment.

/ Date is either a 32-bit or 64-bit signed integer type representing an / elapsed time since UNIX epoch (1970-01-01), stored in either of two units: / / * Milliseconds (64 bits) indicating UNIX time elapsed since the epoch (no / leap seconds), where the values are evenly divisible by 86400000 / * Days (32 bits) since the UNIX epoch.

Exact decimal value represented as an integer value in two's complement.

/ A union is a complex type with children in Field / By default ids in the type vector refer to the offsets in the children / optionally typeIds provides an indirection between the child offset and the type id / for each child `typeIds[offset]` is the id used in the type vector.
