Thrift is a project created by Facebook and maintained by the Apache Software Foundation. It has a good level of compatibility with the languages most commonly used in the market of programming.
Thrift has the communication layer with RPC and a part of serialization using a file .thrift as a template. The file .thrift has notation and types similar to the C++ language in which Thrift was developed.
An example of file .thrift can be viewed in the following:
typedef i32 MyInteger
const i32 INT32CONSTANT = 9853
const map<string,string> MAPCONSTANT = {'hello':'world', 'goodnight':'moon'} enum Operation { ADD = 1, SUBTRACT = 2, MULTIPLY = 3, DIVIDE = 4 } struct Work { 1: i32 num1 = 0, 2: i32 num2, 3: Operation op, 4: optional string ...
