| 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. |
