Convert JSON to Avro

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data interchange format that is easy for humans to read and write and easy for machines to parse and generate.

JSON has become the de facto standard for data exchange on the web, and it is widely used in APIs.

Character encoding

As stated by the RFC 8259, we expect strings in uploaded JSON files to be encoded in UTF-8.

If your file contains non UTF-8 characters, you might get an error when parsing your data.

Apache Avro is a row-oriented remote procedure call and data serialization framework developed within Apache's Hadoop project. It uses JSON for defining data types and protocols, and serializes data in a compact binary format.

Avro is designed to support complex nested data structures and enables efficient querying and manipulation of specific columns without reading the entire dataset.
