## Powering In-Memory Analytics

Apache Arrow is a universal columnar format and multi-language toolbox for fast
data interchange and in-memory analytics. It contains a set of technologies that
enable data systems to efficiently store, process, and move data.

Major components of the project include:

 - [The Arrow Columnar Format](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/dev/format/Columnar.html):
   a standard and efficient in-memory representation of various datatypes, plain or nested
 - [The Arrow IPC Format](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/dev/format/Columnar.html#serialization-and-interprocess-communication-ipc):
   an efficient serialization of the Arrow format and associated metadata,
   for communication between processes and heterogeneous environments
 - [ADBC (Arrow Database Connectivity)](https://github.com/apache/arrow-adbc/) `↗`: Arrow-powered API,
   drivers, and libraries for access to databases and query engines
 - [The Arrow Flight RPC protocol](https://github.com/apache/arrow/tree/main/format/Flight.proto):
   based on the Arrow IPC format, a building block for remote services exchanging
   Arrow data with application-defined semantics (for example a storage server or a database)
 - [C++ libraries](https://github.com/apache/arrow/tree/main/cpp)
 - [C bindings using GLib](https://github.com/apache/arrow/tree/main/c_glib)
 - [.NET libraries](https://github.com/apache/arrow-dotnet) `↗`
 - [Gandiva](https://github.com/apache/arrow/tree/main/cpp/src/gandiva):
   an [LLVM](https://llvm.org)-based Arrow expression compiler, part of the C++ codebase
 - [Go libraries](https://github.com/apache/arrow-go) `↗`
 - [Java libraries](https://github.com/apache/arrow-java) `↗`
 - [JavaScript libraries](https://github.com/apache/arrow-js) `↗`
