------------------------------------
Summary: Provide a JSON Array Serde for serializing a List to a
JSON Array and vice versa
Key: KAFKA-8593
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-8593
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: core
Reporter: Oliver Weiler
When aggregating streams you often group several values by a key.
Because the JSON Serializer/Deserializer pair only supports Java objects and
arrays, this leads to ugly code when working with lists, because you have to
convert from / to an array or wrap the list in an object.
I propose a JSON array serializer/deserializer for that use case.
A basic Implementation can be found here:
