Avsc

Pure JavaScript implementation of the Avro specification.

What's already there:

• Parsing schemas.
• Encoding, decoding, validating, and generating data.
• Resolving schemas (a.k.a. "reader's schemas").
• Reading container files.

Coming up:

• Writing container files.
• Sort order.
• Canonical schemas and fingerprints.
• Protocols.

Example

var avsc = require('avsc');

var Person = avsc.parse({
  type: 'record',
  name: 'Person',
  fields: [
    {name: 'name', type: 'string'},
    {name: 'age', type: 'int'}
  ]
}).getRecordConstructor();

var person = new Person('Ann', 25);
person.name; // == 'Ann'
person.age; // == 25
person.$encode(); // Buffer containing this record's Avro encoding.

Installation

$ npm install avsc
