  // Discussion: https://github.com/google/flatbuffers/issues/5627
  flexbuffers::Builder slb;
  // FBT_VECTOR_* are "typed vectors" where all elements are of the same type.
  // Problem is, when storing FBT_STRING elements, it relies on that type to
  // get the bit-width for the size field of the string, which in this case
  // isn't present, and instead defaults to 8-bit. This means that any strings
  // stored inside such a vector, when accessed thru the old API that returns
  // a String reference, will appear to be truncated if the string stored is
  // actually >=256 bytes.

  // This one will have a 16-bit size field.

  // This one will have an 8-bit size field.

  // We're asking this to be serialized as a typed vector (true), but not
  // fixed size (false). The type will be FBT_VECTOR_STRING with a bit-width
  // of whatever the offsets in the vector need, the bit-widths of the strings
  // are not stored(!) <- the actual design flaw.
  // Note that even in the fixed code, we continue to serialize the elements of
  // FBT_VECTOR_STRING as FBT_STRING, since there may be old code out there
  // reading new data that we want to continue to function.
  // Thus, FBT_VECTOR_STRING, while deprecated, will always be represented the
  // same way, the fix lies on the reading side.

          true);
  // So now lets read this data back.
  // For existing data, since we have no way of knowing what the actual
  // bit-width of the size field of the string is, we are going to ignore this
  // field, and instead treat these strings as FBT_KEY (null-terminated), so we
  // can deal with strings of arbitrary length. This of course truncates strings
  // with embedded nulls, but we think that that is preferrable over truncating
  // strings >= 256 bytes.
  auto vec = flexbuffers::GetRoot(slb.GetBuffer()).AsTypedVector();
  // Even though this was serialized as FBT_VECTOR_STRING, it is read as
  // FBT_VECTOR_KEY:
  TEST_EQ(vec.ElementType(), flexbuffers::FBT_KEY);
  // Access the long string. Previously, this would return a string of size 1,
  // since it would read the high-byte of the 16-bit length.
  // This should now correctly test the full 300 bytes, using AsKey():
  TEST_EQ_STR(vec[0].AsKey(), test_data.c_str());
  // Old code that called AsString will continue to work, as the String
  // accessor objects now use a cached size that can come from a key as well.
  TEST_EQ_STR(vec[0].AsString().c_str(), test_data.c_str());
  // Short strings work as before:
  TEST_EQ_STR(vec[1].AsKey(), "hello");
  TEST_EQ_STR(vec[1].AsString().c_str(), "hello");
  // So, while existing code and data mostly "just work" with the fixes applied
  // to AsTypedVector and AsString, what do you do going forward?
  // Code accessing existing data doesn't necessarily need to change, though
  // you could consider using AsKey instead of AsString for a) documenting
  // that you are accessing keys, or b) a speedup if you don't actually use
  // the string size.
  // For new data, or data that doesn't need to be backwards compatible,
  // instead serialize as FBT_VECTOR (call EndVector with typed = false, then
  // read elements with AsString), or, for maximum compactness, use
  // FBT_VECTOR_KEY (call slb.Key above instead, read with AsKey or AsString).
