Arrow is designed to be both a framework and an interchange format.

Developers can use Arrow to exchange data between various technologies and languages without incurring in any extra cost of marshalling/unmarshalling the data. The Arrow bindings and Arrow native libraries on the various platforms will all understand Arrow data natively wihout the need to decode it.

This allows to easily integrate PyArrow with other languages and technologies.
