| <body> |
| A generic representation for Avro data. |
| |
| <p>This representation is best for applications which deal with |
| dynamic data, whose schemas are not known until runtime. |
| |
| <p>Avro schemas are mapped to Java types as follows: |
| <ul> |
| <li>Schema records are implemented as {@link org.apache.avro.generic.GenericRecord}. |
| <li>Schema enums are implemented as {@link org.apache.avro.generic.GenericEnumSymbol}. |
| <li>Schema arrays are implemented as {@link java.util.Collection}. |
| <li>Schema maps are implemented as {@link java.util.Map}. |
| <li>Schema fixed are implemented as {@link org.apache.avro.generic.GenericFixed}. |
| <li>Schema strings are implemented as {@link java.lang.CharSequence}. |
| <li>Schema bytes are implemented as {@link java.nio.ByteBuffer}. |
| <li>Schema ints are implemented as {@link java.lang.Integer}. |
| <li>Schema longs are implemented as {@link java.lang.Long}. |
| <li>Schema floats are implemented as {@link java.lang.Float}. |
| <li>Schema doubles are implemented as {@link java.lang.Double}. |
| <li>Schema booleans are implemented as {@link java.lang.Boolean}. |
| </ul> |
