> This JIRA is for tracking what I hope will be the last C rewrite.
> This rewrite
> * removes all dependencies on APR and APR-util. Memory is managed now using
> reference counting. Hashes implemented using public domain code from
> Berkeley. List implemented using BSD license queue.h
> * uses the jansson JSON parser for parsing schemas. The Jansson parser is a
> high-quality JSON parser in C with an Apache-friendly MIT license
> * there is a well-defined object framework that serves both datum and schema
> datatypes and provides reference counting. Schemas and datum/values are no
> longer part of a single monolithic structure now.
> * you can now create a schema from json or by hand in code
> * updated to support the new AVRO-163 build layout
> * properly checks avro identifiers
> * probes for the endianness of the architecture in order to optimize
> endianness flipping, e.g. only on big-endian machines are little-endian
> conversions done.
> * documentation is now handled by asciidoc instead of doxygen.
> * increased number of schema unit tests
> * provides much more schema processing functionality like recursively
> checking for equality, checking for matches with promotion, and recursive
> schema copy.
> * lots of bug fixes
> This code is by no means complete. Most of the schema processing code is
> finished along with the primitive encoders for the binary format but I still
> need to complete the read/write path for complex types.
> I'm submitting this Jira to make the work public and to solicit feedback in
> prep for the 1.3 release.
