Thrift is an IDL (Interface Definition Language) and binary communication protocol[2] used for defining and creating services for programming languages.[3] It was developed by Facebook. Since 2020, it is an open source project in the Apache Software Foundation.
It uses a remote procedure call (RPC) framework and combines a software stack with a code generation engine to build cross-platform services. Thrift can connect applications written in a variety of languages and frameworks, including ActionScript, C, C++,[4] C#,[5] Cocoa, Delphi, Erlang, Go, Haskell, Java, JavaScript, Objective-C, OCaml, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, Elixir, Rust, Scala, Smalltalk, and Swift.[6] The implementation was described in an April 2007 technical paper released by Facebook, now hosted on Apache.[7][8]

Using code generation, Thrift creates a set of files which can then be used for creating clients and/or servers.
