-Description: Erlang bindings for Thrift
- Thrift is a software framework for scalable cross-language services
- development. It combines a software stack with a code generation engine to
- build services that work efficiently and seamlessly.
- This package contains the Erlang bindings for Thrift. You will need the thrift
- tool (in the thrift-compiler package) to compile your definition to Erlang
- classes, and then the modules in this package will allow you to use those
- classes in your programs.
