| Apache Avro is a data serialization system. | |
| Avro provides: | |
| - Rich data structures. | |
| - A compact, fast, binary data format. | |
| - A container file, to store persistent data. | |
| - Remote procedure call (RPC). | |
| - Simple integration with dynamic languages. | |
| - Code generation is not required to read or write data | |
| files nor to use or implement RPC protocols. | |
| - Code generation as an optional optimization, | |
| only worth implementing for statically typed languages. | |
