Deserialize flatbuffers binary that represents non-root table
Is it possible to deserialize a binary flatbuffers object that represents a non-root table?
Suppose the following flatbuffers schema:
table Foo
...
table Bar
value:[Foo];
root_type Bar;
Suppose we have access to the binary data that represents the Foo object. Is it possible to deserialize this binary to an object of class Foo? Looking at my c++ generated header file, I do not see any generated function like GetFoo().
Foo
Foo
GetFoo()

GetFoo is just a convenience function for the declared root_type that calls GetRoot<Foo>, you can use GetRoot<Bar> to access any type as the root, assuming the buffer was constructed as such.
GetFoo
root_type
GetRoot<Foo>
GetRoot<Bar>
GetMonster
GetRoot<Monster>

Oh, this is embarrassing. Thank you so much. Your answer prompted me to look at the documentation once again and find this comment right in the tutorial: "
GetMonsteris a convenience function that callsGetRoot<Monster>, the latter is also available for non-root types."– Pejman
