[detail level 1 2 3 4 5]

▼N Avro |
►N File |
C Codec | Base class for Avro-supported compression codecs for data files. Note that Codec objects may maintain internal state (e.g. buffers) and are not thread safe
C DataBlock | Encapsulates a block of data read by the DataFileReader<T>. We will remove this class from the public API in a future version because it is only meant to be used internally
C DataFileConstants | Constants used in data files
C DataFileReader | Provides access to Avro data written using the DataFileWriter<T>
C DataFileWriter | Stores in a file a sequence of data conforming to a schema. The schema is stored in the file with the data. Each datum in a file is of the same schema. Data is written with a DatumWriter<T>. Data is grouped into blocks. A synchronization marker is written between blocks, so that files may be split. Blocks may be compressed. Extensible metadata is stored at the end of the file. Files may be appended to
C DeflateCodec | Implements deflate compression and decompression
C Header | Header on an Avro data file
C IFileReader | Defines the interface for an object that reads data from a file
C IFileWriter | Defines the interface for an object that stores in a file a sequence of data conforming to a schema
C NullCodec | Implements a codec that does not perform any compression. This codec simply returns the bytes presented to it "as-is"
►N Generic |
C DatumReader | Defines the interface for an object that reads data of a schema
C DatumWriter | Defines the interface for an object that writes data of a schema
C DefaultReader | The default implementation for the generic reader. It constructs new .NET objects for avro objects on the stream and returns the .NET object. Users can directly use this class or, if they want to customize the object types for different Avro schema types, can derive from this class. There are enough hooks in this class to allow customization
C DefaultWriter | A General purpose writer for serializing objects into a Stream using Avro. This class implements a default way of serializing objects. But one can derive a class from this and override different methods to achieve results that are different from the default implementation
C GenericDatumReader | PreresolvingDatumReader<T> for reading data to GenericRecord classes or primitives. For more information about performance considerations for choosing this implementation
C GenericDatumWriter | PreresolvingDatumWriter for writing data from GenericRecords or primitive types. For more information about performance considerations for choosing this implementation
C GenericEnum | The default class to hold values for enum schema in GenericReader and GenericWriter
C GenericFixed | The default type used by GenericReader and GenericWriter for objects for FixedSchema
C GenericReader | A general purpose reader of data from avro streams. This can optionally resolve if the reader's and writer's schemas are different. This class is a wrapper around DefaultReader and offers a little more type safety. The default reader has the flexibility to return any type of object for each read call because the Read() method is generic. This class on the other hand can only return a single type because the type is a parameter to the class. Any user defined extension should, however, be done to DefaultReader. This class is sealed
C GenericRecord | The default type used by GenericReader and GenericWriter for RecordSchema
C GenericWriter | A typesafe wrapper around DefaultWriter. While a specific object of DefaultWriter allows the client to serialize a generic type, an object of this class allows only a single type of object to be serialized through it
►C PreresolvingDatumReader | A general purpose reader of data from avro streams. This reader analyzes and resolves the reader and writer schemas when constructed so that reads can be more efficient. Once constructed, a reader can be reused or shared among threads to avoid incurring more resolution costs

C EnumAccess | Defines the interface for a class that provides access to an enum implementation
C FixedAccess | Defines the interface for a class that provides access to a fixed implementation
C MapAccess | Defines the interface for a class that provides access to a map implementation
C RecordAccess | Defines the interface for a class that provides access to a record implementation
►C PreresolvingDatumWriter | A general purpose writer of data from avro streams. This writer analyzes the writer schema when constructed so that writes can be more efficient. Once constructed, a writer can be reused or shared among threads to avoid incurring more resolution costs
C ArrayAccess | Defines the interface for a class that provides access to an array implementation
C DictionaryMapAccess | Provides access to map properties from an IDictionary
C EnumAccess | Obsolete - This will be removed from the public API in a future version
C MapAccess | Defines the interface for a class that provides access to a map implementation
C RecordFieldWriter | Correlates a record field with the writer used to serialize that field
►N IO |
►N Parsing |
C JsonGrammarGenerator | The class that generates a grammar suitable to parse Avro data in JSON format
►C Parser | Parser is the class that maintains the stack for parsing. This class is used by encoders, which are not required to skip
C IActionHandler | The parser knows how to handle the terminal and non-terminal symbols. But it needs help from outside to handle implicit and explicit actions. The clients implement this interface to provide this help
►C SkipParser | A parser that capable of skipping as well read and write. This class is used by decoders who (unlike encoders) are required to implement methods to skip
C ISkipHandler | The clients implement this interface to skip symbols and actions
►C Symbol | Symbol is the base of all symbols (terminals and non-terminals) of the grammar
C Alternative | Alternative symbol

C ByteBufferInputStream | Utility to present MemoryStreams as an InputStream
C ByteBufferOutputStream | Utility to collect data written to an OutputStream in MemoryStreams
C Decoder | Decoder is used to decode Avro data on a stream. There are methods to read the Avro types on the stream. There are also methods to skip items, which are usually more efficient than reading, on the stream
C Encoder | Defines the interface for a class that provides low-level support for serializing Avro values

C InputStream | Base class for an input stream
C JsonDecoder | A Decoder for Avro's JSON data encoding

►N Reflect |
C ArrayHelper | Class to help serialize and deserialize arrays. Arrays need the following methods Count(), Add(), Clear().true This class allows these methods to be specified externally to the collection
C AvroFieldAttribute | Attribute that specifies the mapping between an Avro field and C# class property
C ClassCache | Class holds a cache of C# classes and their properties. The key for the cache is the schema full name
C DateTimeOffsetToLongConverter | Convert C# DateTimeOffset properties to long unix time
