Please refer to the implementation's own documentation. + + +Who should read this +==================== + +You should read this document if you belong to either of these two categories: + +1. *users* of Arrow: that is, developers of third-party libraries or applications + that use some of the Arrow formats or protocols by calling into Arrow libraries + as defined below; + +2. *implementors* of Arrow libraries: that is, libraries that provide APIs + abstraction away from the details of the Arrow formats and protocols; such + libraries include the official Arrow implementations documented on + https://arrow.apache.org, but not only. Review Comment: The new wording looks good to me 👍 > 1. *users* of Arrow: that is, developers of third-party libraries or applications > that don't implement directly implement the Arrow formats or protocols, but > instead call language-specific APIs provided by an Arrow library > (as defined below); -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
