             Summary: Allow user to "clean up" unions into more conventional dicts in json encoding
                 Key: AVRO-1618
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1618
             Project: Avro
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: python
    Affects Versions: 1.7.7
            Reporter: Aaron Kimball
            Assignee: Aaron Kimball


In Avro's JSON encoding, unions are implemented in a tagged fashion; walking through this data structure is somewhat cumbersome. It would be good to have a way of "decoding" this tagged-union data structure into a more conventional dict where the union element is directly present without the tag.
