> ConvertAvroToJSON uses {{GenericData#toString(GenericRecord)}} to convert to JSON. This produces [Avro-JSON|https://avro.apache.org/docs/1.7.7/spec.html#json_encoding], which probably isn't what most users want because it adds an unexpected layer for Avro union types:
> bq. the union schema {{["null","string",...]}} ... would encode: the string {{"a"}} as {{{"string": "a"}}} ...
> It would be good to have a conversion that doesn't add those layers as an option.
