Thiruvalluvan M. G. updated AVRO-956:
-------------------------------------
Attachment: AVRO-956.patch
The patch is for a functionally identical to the existing codebase. It removes
the dependencies on Flex, Bison and boost regex.
All the existing code that depends on Avro C++ should compile and run without
modification.

> The current schema parser uses Flex/Bison. Making Flex/Bison work with CMake
> seems difficult. Moreover trying to parse Json directly into in-memory schema
> object appears hard. The code is not friendly for extensions to implement new
> features such as namespace, documentation comments etc.
> We already have a Json parser in Avro C++ codebase, but is hidden inside the
> JsonCodec. Bringing it out and implementing a schema parser on top of that
> (similar to the Java and C# implementations) would fix the problem. The
> forthcoming patch does just that.
