Thrift IDL

Thrift IDL (Interface Definition Language) is a language used to describe how software components communicate with each other across different systems or programming languages. It defines data structures and service interfaces so that applications can exchange information seamlessly, regardless of their underlying technology. Think of it as a universal contract or blueprint that ensures all sides understand the data and actions involved, enabling efficient, cross-language, and distributed system development. Thrift translates this blueprint into code for various languages, making integration straightforward and reliable.
