+Summary
+=======
+
+Apache 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 between many programming languages. A language-neutral IDL
+is used to generate functioning client libraries and server-side handling frameworks.
+
+For More Information
