## Apache Thrift Features
- * interface description language - Everything is specified in an IDL file from which bindings for many languages can be generated. See [Thirft IDL](/docs/idl)

* service inheritance - Subservices implement all functions of their base services and can have additional functions
* asynchronous invocations - Functions that do not return a result can be invoked asynchronously so the client is not blocked until the server has finished processing the request. The server may execute asynchronous invocations of the same client in parallel/out of order
* exceptions - If an error occurs a function can throw a standard or user-defined exception. See [Thrift Types](/docs/types)
-
+ * cyclic structs - Starting with version 0.9.2, Thrift supports structs that contain themselves, or other structs to be declared later.

## Non-features
The following are not supported by Apache Thrift:
- * cyclic structs - Structs can only contain structs that have been declared before it. A struct also cannot contain itself
* struct inheritance - Use struct composition instead
* polymorphism - As there is no inheritance, polymorphism is also not supported
* overloading - All methods within a service must be uniquely named
