- Apache Fory Rust is a high-performance, cross-language serialization framework.
- It handles circular references, trait objects, and schema evolution automatically.
- Built with Rust's safety guarantees and zero-copy techniques.
- Supports cross-language serialization (Rust, Java, Python, C++, Go).
- Automatically manages shared and circular references.
- Enables serialization of trait objects (Box<dyn Trait>, Rc<dyn Trait>).
- Supports schema evolution without breaking changes.
- Uses a sophisticated binary protocol for efficient encoding.
- Generates serialization code at compile time for zero runtime overhead.
- Modular architecture with focused crates (fory, fory-core, fory-derive).
- Benchmarks show significant performance advantages over JSON and Protocol Buffers.
- Ideal for microservices, high-performance data pipelines, and complex domain models.
- Thread-safe once type registration is complete.
- Comprehensive error handling with Result<T, Error>.
- Active development with a growing community and open-source contributions.
