Aaron Kimball commented on AVRO-1618:
-------------------------------------
Ok, this makes sense. I'll see what I can come up with and post a new patch
when I do. Thanks for helping straighten things out.
> Allow user to "clean up" unions into more conventional dicts in json encoding

>
> In Avro's JSON encoding, unions are implemented in a tagged fashion; walking
> through this data structure is somewhat cumbersome. It would be good to have
> a way of "decoding" this tagged-union data structure into a more conventional
> dict where the union element is directly present without the tag.
