Jeremy Kahn created AVRO-1291:
---------------------------------
Summary: Python library missing strict JSON encode/decoe
Key: AVRO-1291
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1291
Project: Avro
Issue Type: Bug
Components: python
Reporter: Jeremy Kahn
The Python Avro libraries don't actually have a proper JSON decoder or encoder,
because they don't handle the [type-hinting for
unions|http://avro.apache.org/docs/current/spec.html#json_encoding] properly.
The Python {{avro.io}} library should provide a pair of
{{StrictJsonEncoder,StrictJsonDecoder}}} classes that correctly include (and
decode) the type hints when the schema expects a union.
Jonathan Coveney [raised this
concern|http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/avro-user/201304.mbox/%3CCAKne9Z6nkYXwb4QzPr4qNyH1o7TnL1674MspgnHuKMuD2imguQ%40mail.gmail.com%3E]
