About Apache Avro™

Apache Avro™ is a data serialization system that describes data. Avro defines schemas in JavaScript Object Notation (JSON). Data is always accompanied by a schema that permits full processing of that data without code generation, static data types, and the like. In this manner, Avro facilitates construction of generic data-processing systems and languages, especially those that natively support JSON.
