Ryan Blue commented on AVRO-1582:
---------------------------------
I don't think we should change the JSON format. This would require updating all
of the implementations' readers and I don't see much benefit to the feature
other than JSON that is a bit easier to read -- size isn't a concern because
there is a binary encoding option and this is cheap when compressed.
> Json serialization of nullable fileds improvement.
