Labels: pull-request-available (was: )
> Switch Perl library from JSON::XS to JSON::MaybeXS
> --------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: AVRO-3998
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-3998
> Project: Apache Avro
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: perl
> Reporter: José Joaquín Atria
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: pull-request-available
> Time Spent: 10m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> The Perl library currently depends directly on JSON::XS, which forces a
> decision of the JSON backend on the user. Perl currently has a number of
> compatible backends, including JSON::PP, which is shipped with Perl itself.
> The JSON::MaybeXS library serves as a compatibility layer to allow users to
> select the JSON backend that matches their stack, rather than forcing them to
> install a specific one, while still benefiting from the performance boost of
> XS libraries if they are available.
> Note that AVRO-1514 already exists aiming to clean up some dependencies,
> including replacing JSON::XS with plain JSON, a different compatibility layer.
> While the other changes in AVRO-1514 I think are desirable, that ticket seems
> to have stalled, and JSON::MaybeXS seems like a better alternative since it
> also supports Cpanel::JSON::XS as an additional possible backend.
