Are FlatBuffers essentially Capnproto without the RPC?

FlatBuffers can be used with gRPC, so they shouldn't need a separate RPC ecosystem like Cap'n Proto: https://grpc.io/blog/flatbuffers

Right, but I'm asking if FlatBuffers' approach to encoding is similar to Cap'n Proto. It seems like the answer is "yes", but I might be missing something.
