{ "schema":"{\"type\": \"record\",\"name\": \"GenericAuditRecord\", \"fields\": [{ \"name\": \"xml\",\"type\": [\"string\", \"null\"] }]}" } -Dave -----Original Message----- From: Dustin Cote [mailto:dus...@confluent.io] Sent: Monday, June 13, 2016 11:36 AM To: users@kafka.apache.org Subject: Re: Schema Registry Exception Hi Dave, This looks like invalid JSON. I see an extra comma in the fields stanza.
