Package: libavro-dev (1.9.0-1 and others)

Apache Avro C library headers (avro-c)

Apache Avro is a data serialization system. Avro provides rich data structures; a binary data format; and a container file format, to store Avro-encoded data persistently.

This package provides the "avro-c" implementation of Apache Avro in C. The C implementation supports:

 * binary encoding/decoding of all primitive and complex data types
 * storage to an Avro Object Container File
 * schema resolution, promotion and projection
 * validating and non-validating mode for writing Avro data

The C implementation of Avro lacks RPC support.

This package contains the development files.
