Ask HN: What happened to flatbuffers? Are they being used?
A few years ago, their was a talk about flatbuffers[0] being a memory efficient and quicker method than JSON.
Anyone have any real world experience with it?

Java Serialization with Protocol Buffers
The information can be stored in a database or as files, serialized in a standard format and with a schema agreed with your Data Engineering team. Depending on your information and requirements, it can be as simple as CSV, XML or JSON, or Big Data formats such as Parquet, Avro, ORC, Arrow, or message serialization formats like Protocol Buffers, FlatBuffers, MessagePack, Thrift, or Cap'n Proto.

Ask HN: What interesting problems are you working on? ( 2022 Edition)
- Moved files: How to not lose all customized information (rating, playlists, playcount, etc.) when a file gets moved to another place?
Many filesystems try to solve the same problem (eg: customize the appearance of files in a particular folder [1]). One solution is adding extended file attributes [2], however this might not be supported on all operating systems.
[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.DS_Store
[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_file_attributes
A slower but more portable solution might be content-addressable storage. Basically, create a directory containing just metadata files for each song. Name each file as the SHA256 sum of the associated music file, and put metadata into it in a binary format like flatbuffers [3] or Cap'n Proto [4] or a plaintext format like TOML [5] if you prefer to make the system human-editable at the cost of lower performance. Even after moving a file to another location, the SHA256 sum of the file should not change.
Note that if you have duplicated files, then there might be hash collisions where you'll have to reconcile metadata differences (or you can just merge the metadata together, keeping attributes with the later timestamp). There are various solutions to this as well like building a parallel directory structure which mirrors your music filesystem, but that can get complicated.
[3] https://google.github.io/flatbuffers/
- File-Watchers: How to prevent fully indexing the filesystem over and over again and only react to changes?
When first loading a directory of music into the program, build a merkle tree [6] of the files' hashes and save them to the content-addressable storage directory described above if they do not already exist. Once indexing is complete, serialize the merkle trees for each directory as well, this way the next time the program starts, you can just load these up and check for consistency of the files in the background. Then set up FileSystemWatcher [7] to notify you when the contents of a directory changes, and update the metadata files and merkle trees accordingly.
