Apache Portable Runtime (APR)

Apache Portable Runtime (APR) is a software library designed to provide a consistent programming interface for developers, so they can write applications that work on different operating systems without needing to change their code for each system. It facilitates common tasks such as file handling, memory management, and networking by offering a set of standardized functions. This allows developers to focus on their application's functionality rather than the underlying complexities of various operating systems, promoting portability and efficiency in software development across platforms.
