[jira] Commented: (AVRO-462) C implementation does not accept "simple" primitive schemas

["Bruce Mitchener (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-462?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12845705#action_12845705 ] 

Bruce Mitchener commented on AVRO-462:
--------------------------------------

The roadmap (http://wiki.github.com/akheron/jansson/roadmap) for Jansson 1.3 indicates that they want to support this ... wonder how hard it would be to contribute the required support to Jansson vs changing to yajl?

> Schemas like "null", "int", "string", etc. (instead of the longer, {type: "null"}, {type: "int"}, etc.) are not accepted by the C implementation.
> This seems to be a problem with the jansson JSON library used. It (strictly correctly) says that simple strings are not JSON objects.
> Switching to the yajl[1] library would fix this as yajl accepts "subsets" of JSON like strings, numbers and so on.
