[[http://incubator.apache.org/thrift/|Thrift]] is a software framework for scalable cross-language services development.  Thrift allows you to define data types and service interfaces in a simple definition file. Taking that file as input, the compiler generates code to be used to easily build RPC clients and servers that communicate seamlessly across programming languages.
