Can thriftrw be used for creating Thrift IDL?

[shubham jain <sh...@gmail.com>]

I wanted to write Thift IDL files automatically in Node js. For doing that,
I am thinking to use thriftrw node js package from here:-
https://github.com/thriftrw/thriftrw-node

Actually, my complete task is to convert the given JSON schema to Thrift
IDL Schema. For doing this whole task, I am planning to first parse JSON
Schema. From this JSON Schema Object, I would create a thriftrw object from
which I would create Thrift IDL Schema file. But I am not getting how can I
convert thriftrw object to Thrift IDL schema?

Please provide some suggestions.

Hi,

Personally, thriftrw is a library encode, decode object via IDL.
compare with apache thrift, it doesn't need compile.

I think, you can use library to decode, encode RPC object via your json.
the IDL as the middle result of your json to decode/encode behavior. I
don't think it's IDL was designed for.
