Apache Thrift Alternatives
Apache Thrift is described as 'The Apache Thrift software framework, for scalable cross-language services development, combines a software stack with a code generation engine to build services that work efficiently and seamlessly between C++, Java, Python, PHP, Ruby, Erlang, Perl, Haskell, C#, Cocoa' and is an app. There are five alternatives to Apache Thrift for Windows, Linux, Mac, BSD and Android. The best alternative is Protocol Buffers, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Apache Thrift are Ice, MessagePack, The Melange Language Workbench and Avro.
Protocol buffers are Google's language-neutral, platform-neutral, extensible mechanism for serializing structured data – think XML, but smaller, faster, and simpler.
