Serialization framework with some interesting numbers: 10-20x faster on nested objects than json/protobuf.

  Technical approach: compile-time codegen (no reflection), compact binary protocol with meta-packing, little-endian layout optimized for modern CPUs.

  Unique features that other fast serializers don't have:
  - Cross-language without IDL files (Rust ↔ Python/Java/Go)
  - Trait object serialization (Box<dyn Trait>)
  - Automatic circular reference handling
  - Schema evolution without coordination

  Happy to discuss design trade-offs.

The prevalence of AI slop in the landing page doc does not inspire confidence.

The https://github.com/apache/fory/blob/main/AGENTS.md is a very detailed document only for AI coding, but an excelent reference for development. But you are right, it may introduce concerns, let me remove it from landing pages

That’s not what I meant, I mean it is obvious from many phrases on the landing page that they were written with AI
