Package avro: Information

Apache Avro is a data serialization system.

Avro provides:

* Rich data structures.
* A compact, fast, binary data format.
* A container file, to store persistent data.
* Remote procedure call (RPC).
* Simple integration with dynamic languages. Code generation is not required
  to read or write data files nor to use or implement RPC protocols. Code
  generation as an optional optimization, only worth implementing for
  statically typed languages.
