Kalle Niemitalo updated AVRO-3614: ---------------------------------- Summary: Remove System.CodeDom dependency from main library (was: Remove System.CodeGen dependency from main library) > Remove System.CodeDom dependency from main library > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: AVRO-3614 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-3614 > Project: Apache Avro > Issue Type: Wish > Components: csharp > Affects Versions: 1.11.1 > Reporter: Kalle Niemitalo > Priority: Major > > The Apache.Avro package on NuGet depends on the System.CodeDom package. I'd > like this dependency to be removed so that I wouldn't have to distribute > System.CodeDom with my applications, which encode and decode Avro data but do > not generate source code at run time. > This would presumably require moving the code generation features from the > Apache.Avro package to a new Apache.Avro.CodeGen package, which would be a > breaking change. > In Avro 1.11.1, System.CodeDom is used by the Avro.CodeGen and > Avro.CodeGenUtil classes. From those classes, only the > CodeGen.GetNullableType, CodeGenUtil.UnMangle, and CodeGen.getType methods > are used by the rest of the library. The CodeGen.getType method also depends > on the CodeGenException class and the CodeGenUtil.Mangle method. None of > those methods depend on System.CodeDom, so they could be moved to a new > static class (perhaps named something like TypeUtil or ReflectionUtil) and > kept in the main library. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
