-----------------------------------
Summary: Python library missing strict JSON encode/decode (was: Python
library missing strict JSON encode/decoe)
> Python library missing strict JSON encode/decode
> ------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: AVRO-1291
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1291
> Project: Apache Avro
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: python
> Affects Versions: 1.7.7
> Reporter: Jeremy Kahn
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: avro.diff
>
>
> The Python Avro libraries don't actually have a proper JSON decoder or
> encoder, because they don't handle the [type-hinting for
> unions|http://avro.apache.org/docs/current/spec.html#json_encoding] properly.
> The Python {{avro.io}} library should provide a pair of
> {{StrictJsonEncoder,StrictJsonDecoder}}} classes that correctly include (and
> decode) the type hints when the schema expects a union.
> Jonathan Coveney [raised this
> concern|http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/avro-user/201304.mbox/%3CCAKne9Z6nkYXwb4QzPr4qNyH1o7TnL1674MspgnHuKMuD2imguQ%40mail.gmail.com%3E]
