Overview
Thrift was originally developed by Facebook and later submitted to the Apache Foundation as an open source project. At that time, facebook developed and used it to solve the transmission and communication of large amounts of data between systems in the system and the different language environments between systems required cross-platform features , so Thrift supports cross-language, such as C++, Java , Python , PHP , Ruby, Erlang, Perl, Haskell, C#, Cocoa, JavaScript , Node.js , Smalltalk, and OCaml are all supported. Thrift is a typical CS structure, and the client and server can be developed in different languages. Since the client and the server can be developed in different languages, there must be an intermediate language to associate the language of the client and the server. Yes, this language is IDL (Interface Description Language).
