I prefer keeping a shorter name. It feels a bit awkward that a user would have to write `use apache_fory::Fory` or `use apache_fory_core::Fory` instead of the more natural `use fory::Fory`.
I created the apache-fory crate as a placeholder to avoid potential supply chain attacks, not necessarily as the main crate name for day‑to‑day usage. If we adopt `apache-fory`, we would need to ask users to alias it in their Cargo.toml so they can still import it as fory in code. This does work, but it adds extra steps for the user, and I’d prefer to keep things simple. ---------------- Best, Shawn Yang On Tue, Oct 28, 2025 at 3:49 PM tison <[email protected]> wrote: > > This makes sense where avro is named as apache-avro [1] > > [1] https://crates.io/crates/apache-avro > > Although, Apache Arrow/Parquet/OpenDAL/... has a shorter name.
