[jira] [Commented] (AVRO-1294) XML Encoder/Decoder implementations?

["Doug Cutting (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1294?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16459918#comment-16459918 ] 

Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-1294:
------------------------------------

This would be great to have.

You could use XMLEventReader and XMLEventWriter to implement an Avro Decoder & Encoder.  If you us JsonEncoder and JsonDecoder implementations as examples, then you'd also get the benefit of Avro's parser framework for schema validation and resolution.  Where JsonEncoder maps JsonToken events to Avro parser Symbols, you'd instead map XMLEvents.

How should the XML look, something like:
{code:java}
<avro:record name="Foo" namespace="com.yoyodyne">
  <avro:field name="x">
    <avro:int>10</avro:int>
  </avro:field>
</avro:record>{code}
or something like:
{code:java}
<Foo>
  <x>10</x>
</Foo>{code}
?
