Sample code

[niallkader]

Hello, Just wondering if you could create a few more examples to help with learning. I'd love to see something that mimics the examples on the avro 'getting started' page (http://avro.apache.org/docs/current/gettingstartedjava.html).

I'm excited about trying it out, Thanks!

Hi there

Yes I do plan do add some more examples and could easily translate the java example from the main avro page that you linked, but for now I suggest you look at the tests as they are pretty comprehensive and cover every type that you can serialise as well as complex / compound types.

Thanks for the reply. I was able to serialize and deserialize a simple .avsc file, but I was getting errors when I included unions in my schema. Just wondering if I may have overlooked something. I used the user.avsc example from this page: http://avro.apache.org/docs/current/gettingstartedjava.html

It seems that you may be onto something big as it appears that quite a few people on the net are looking for a javascript implementation of avro. If I can help with documenting examples I'd be willing to do that, but I must admit that I'm new to both Node and Avro.

Thanks again, Niall Kader
