Thrift framework is a cross-language server deployment framework, which was developed by facebook in 2007 and entered the Apache open source project in 2008. It defines RPC interfaces and data types through an intermediate language (IDL interface definition language) and generates different codes through the compiler, and Generate code implementations for the RPC transport and protocol layers.
The Thrift framework is the realization of the C/S mode in different languages. Through the code generation tool, the interface definition file is generated into the server and client code, so as to realize the cross-language functional support of the server and the client.
