Konstantin Shaposhnikov commented on AVRO-1665:
-----------------------------------------------
Another alternative is to make binary format configurable in JSON
encoder/decoder.
Something like:
{code}
enum BytesJsonFormat { STRING, BASE64 }
encoder.setBytesFormat(BytesJsonFormat format)
decoder.setBytesFormat(BytesJsonFormat format)
{code}
Creating another pair of encoder/decoder classes that use base64 for BYTES and
incorporate proposal from AVRO-1582 and probably some other changes is a good
approach as well. Especially that it can be implemented in AVRO 1.8 without
need to wait for AVRO 2.0
> Provide way to represent BYTES type using base64 encoding in JSON

> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 1.7.7
> Reporter: Konstantin Shaposhnikov
>
> Currently JsonEncoder and JsonDecoder represent BYTES type as String encoded
> using ISO-8859-1 charset.
> It would be good to provide option to use base64 encoding (e.g. using jackson
> JsonGenerator.writeBinary(byte[] data, int offset, int len) method).
