> I've been working on a new interface for representing Avro values.  The new interface supports custom implementations, which allows you to directly use instances of existing C types as Avro values.  It also includes a "generic" implementation of the interface that's much faster and more space efficient than the old avro_datum_t class.  Lastly, the interface includes support for zero-copy getters and setters for bytes, string, and fixed values.
