Narrative:
Green hydraulic system quantity went to zero when we put the gear down just outside the marker approaching runway. First officer flying; I accomplished ECAM procedure. Runway is 9300 ft long. Decided to continue to land as gear indicated down and locked with 3 green lights and flaps were extended to full. ECAM indicated flaps/slats slow to respond. After landing and xfer of control; I exited the runway using differential braking and thrust. Tower advised and they sent support and emergency equipment. They reported some smoke from the left main gear; but not extreme. I leaned out the cockpit window to visually inspect and noted that it was visible; but not thick. Advised operations we would need to be towed to gate.
