                 Key: AVRO-172
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-172
             Project: Avro
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: c
    Affects Versions: 1.2.0, 1.1.0, 1.0.0
            Reporter: Matt Massie
             Fix For: 1.2.1, 1.3.0
         Attachments: AVRO-172.patch

This patch is in response to Thiru's feedback about the current C 
implementation.  Thanks, Thiru!  I appreciate the feedback.

Previously, all instances of an Avro value contained class-specific data and 
methods (e.g. callbacks for reading, skipping and writing data).  This is 
inefficient and unnecessary.

This patch creates a per value class registry to hold all class-wide 
information.

Moreover, this patch creates the framework necessary for support the Avro JSON 
import/export format.  Each value class registers all supported data formats 
(named AVRO_BINARY_FORMAT and AVRO_JSON_IMPORT_EXPORT_FORMAT).  The current 
JSON parser is a DOM-like parser which is really only suitable for process 
schema data.  The callbacks registered in the value class registry will allow 
us to process JSON data in a SAX-link fashion moving forward.
