Aaron Kimball updated AVRO-1618:
--------------------------------
Attachment: avro-1618.1.patch
Attaching patch with proposed solution. This creates a new class called
{{JsonDecoder}} with a public method that untangles the union types for the
user.
I believe this fits the bill, but am not 100% confident it should be called
{{JsonDecoder}}, as it does not share a common API with {{BinaryDecoder}}.
Alternate name suggestions would be welcome.
> Allow user to "clean up" unions into more conventional dicts in json encoding

>
> In Avro's JSON encoding, unions are implemented in a tagged fashion; walking
> through this data structure is somewhat cumbersome. It would be good to have
> a way of "decoding" this tagged-union data structure into a more conventional
> dict where the union element is directly present without the tag.
