Tatu Saloranta commented on AVRO-1126:
--------------------------------------
Probably not high priority in any way, but minor suggestions:
1. For non-API-bound types, `Map<String,Object>` makes sense: jsr-353 has a
slew of issues and may be problematic for Android as well (due to whitelisting
issues wrt not-included jdk types), plus does not offer much additional value
2. Instead of full Jackson databind, could perhaps consider jackson-jr
(https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-jr) which uses `jackson-core` (streaming)
but only adds about 80kB on top of that (and could be shaded if that makes
sense)
3. For simplest usage, reading/content to/from Maps/Lists etc, could even just
use `jackson-core` directly, avoid databinding/mapper. That sheds 80% of
Jackson's code, reduces potential version conflicts, but still has benefits of
a mature efficient library
If anyone is interested in some of above perhaps I could help as well.

>
> Quite annoyingly with Jackson 2+ the base package name has changed from
> org.codehaus.jackson to com.fasterxml.jackson so in addition to changing the
> dependencies from:
> {code:xml}
> <dependency>
> <groupId>org.codehaus.jackson</groupId>
> <artifactId>jackson-core-asl</artifactId>
> <version>${jackson.version}</version>
> </dependency>
> <dependency>
> <groupId>org.codehaus.jackson</groupId>
> <artifactId>jackson-mapper-asl</artifactId>
> <version>${jackson.version}</version>
> </dependency>
> {code}
> to:
> {code:xml}
> <dependency>
> <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
> <artifactId>jackson-core</artifactId>
> <version>${jackson.version}</version>
> </dependency>
> <dependency>
> <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
> <artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
> <version>${jackson.version}</version>
> </dependency>
> {code}
> the base package in the code needs to be updated. More info can be found
> [here|http://wiki.fasterxml.com/JacksonUpgradeFrom19To20], I am happy to do
> the work just let me know what is preferable i.e. should I just attach a
> patch to this issue?
