# Arrow2

Arrow2 is a Rust library that implements data structures and functionality enabling
interoperability with the arrow format.

The typical use-case for this library is to perform CPU and memory-intensive analytics in a format that supports heterogeneous data structures, null values, and IPC and FFI interfaces across languages.

Arrow2 is divided in 5 main APIs:

* a [low-level API]./low_level.md to efficiently operate with contiguous memory regions
* a [high-level API]./high_level.md to operate with arrow arrays
* a [metadata API]./metadata.md to declare and operate with logical types and metadata
* a [compute API]./compute.md with operators to operate over arrays
* an IO API with interfaces to read from, and write to, other formats
