Martin Kleppmann commented on AVRO-1063:
----------------------------------------
[~ches]: I've also thought about getting rid of Echoe, and would support that.
Although we should track that on a separate issue, since it has nothing to do
with multi_json.
> 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.
