Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-1063:
------------------------------------
I think we should use Json parsers that obey Postel's law. For example,
Jackson in Java is configured to permit C-style comments in Json, which are
non-standard. But no implementation should never use non-standard syntax in
generated Json, especially that written to a data file or in an RPC handshake.
So, for example, schemas that are hand-edited and primarily used as source for
a code-generating compiler might contain comments. Some implementations might
have trouble parsing these. The implementations would not be in error, rather
the schemas would be.
> Ruby client should use multi_json rather than being locked down to yajl

> The avro ruby client uses yajl for JSON serialization which is just one of
> many suitable JSON implementations for ruby. The multi_json gem provides a
> wrapper for JSON serialization selecting the fastest library available (Oj is
> now even faster than Yajl) and falling back to a pure ruby implementation
> bundled with multi_json. Requiring yajl also precludes the ruby gem from
> being used under jruby since it requires a C extension.
