beadledom-avro-jackson¶

Provides Jackson serialization support for Avro files.

The provided deserializer ensures that Jackson deserializes Avro classes by using the generated builder classes rather than just instantiating the generated value classes. This ensures that any fields not specified in the input JSON will have their default values (if any) applied, rather than being left null.

Serialization is a bit simpler but we do ensure that the Schema component of the Avro file is not serialized.
