>                 Key: AVRO-1584
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1584
>             Project: Avro
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: java
>    Affects Versions: 1.7.7
>         Environment: Pure java.
>            Reporter: Christophe Lorenz
>
> The Json output of java generated code doesn't correctly encode byte arrays.
> Using this simple schema : 
> {"namespace": "example.avro",
>  "type": "record",
>  "name": "ByteArrayEncoding",
>  "fields": [     {"name": "data", "type": "bytes"} ]
> }
> The toString()  
> 	System.out.println(new ByteArrayEncoding(ByteBuffer.wrap(new byte[]{0,31,65,66,67,(byte)255,(byte)182})));
> Returns raw bytes to string in the json :
> {"data": {"bytes": "  ABC??"}}
> As a byte array is not tied to be a valid string, it should be converted back and forth to Base64 like other Json implementations : 
> {"data": {"bytes": "AB9BQkP/tg=="}}
