[jira] [Commented] (AVRO-1950) Better Json serialization for Avro decimal logical types?

["Stephane Maarek (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Stephane Maarek commented on AVRO-1950:
---------------------------------------

has there been any progress on this? bytes are highly uncommon and not json friendly, they make serialization and deserialization as avro near impossible

> Currently as I understand decimal logical types are encoded on top of bytes and fixed avro types. This makes them a bit "unnatural" in the json encoding...
> I worked around a hack in my fork to naturally encode them into json decimals. A good starting point to look at is in: https://github.com/zolyfarkas/avro/blob/trunk/lang/java/avro/src/main/java/org/apache/avro/io/DecimalEncoder.java 
> My approach is a bit hacky, so I would be interested in suggestions to have this closer to something we can integrate into avro...
