[jira] [Updated] (AVRO-3274) Request for C# API to implement a JSON Encoder
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-3274?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Andrew Benedek updated AVRO-3274:
---------------------------------
Description:
This is a request or improvement.
I have a .NET Core application that needs to publish AVRO JSON encoded messages to our Confluent Kafka REST API. I can see that the Java and C++ API's have a JSON encoder, but I couldn't tell from the documentation whether the C# API has it, or at least it doesn't seem to. The documentation for the C# API is a little light on for details. The Kafka REST API supports JSON, and AVRO JSON, but not binary AVRO from what I understand.
The main problem facing the plain JSON we are currently publishing is that when using an AVRO schema and the union type, we hit the problem described here https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2899. We need to generate the type information in the JSON in order to satisfy the validation in the Kafka REST API. Hence, the need for an AVRO JSON encoder.
I can't re-write the .NET application, so I'm faced with the prospect of using either the Java or C++ API's with some sort of wrappers or interoperability framework, which I'm desperately trying to avoid.
Any assistance or suggestions would be much appreciated.
