Hi All,

Is there any way to send Avro data over HTTP encoded in JSON?
We want to integrate with Node.js and JSON seems to be the best/simplest way to do so.

Thanks,

Frank Grimes

FWIW, there are avro libs for JavaScript and node on github.

Are there any fast and stable ones you might recommend?

See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-485 for some discussion on
JavaScript for Avro.  Please comment in that ticket with your needs and
use case.  The project would welcome a JavaScript implementation.

One big problem to note is that doing binary from Javascript is a
non-trivial problem: fundamentall JS is character-based, and only has
access to binary data via extensions. But hopefully one of extensions
becomes de facto standard...
Many codecs that claim to work do not, for example protobuf js lib
seemed totally broken last I looked.
