    An interface description language (IDL) specifies a software component's interface in a language-neutral way, enabling communication between components written in different languages. IDLs describe interfaces to allow components written in languages like C++ and Java to interact, acting as a bridge between different systems. Common examples of IDLs used for remote procedure calls include Avro and Thrift, which allow communication between machines using different operating systems and programming languages.

    What is IDL? AAAn interface description language offer a bridge between the two different systems.

    for example, between components written in C++ and components written in Java.
    helps in communication between components written in different language. Egs of IDL: Avro, Thrift

    An interface description language (or alternatively, interface definition language), or IDL for short, is a specification language used to describe a software component's interface. IDLs describe an interface in a language-neutral way, enabling communication between software components that do not share a language for example, between components written in C++ and components written in Java. IDLs are commonly used in remote procedure call software. In these cases the machines at either end of the "link" may be using different operating systems and computer languages. IDLs offer a bridge between the two different systems.
