To quote [an answer](https://groups.google.com/g/flatbuffers/c/0h6F7g6iOlQ/m/jBQRW2fGBwAJ) that I got on the Flatbuffers mailing-list: a buffer of a given size can basically encode a nearly unlimited number of tables, since Flatbuffers can deduplicate tables (e.g. you can have a Field with N times the same child, itself with M times the same child, etc., which can produce a combinatory explosion). ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
