Avro IDL

Avro IDL (Interface Description Language) is a formal way to define the structure of data and services in a clear, human-readable format. It allows developers to specify data types, message formats, and interfaces precisely, which can then be automatically translated into machine-readable schemas used for serialization and communication between systems. Avro IDL helps ensure consistent data exchange across different applications and languages, making system integration and data management more reliable and maintainable. Essentially, it acts as a blueprint that standardizes how data is described and shared in distributed systems.
