• benchmarks

Parsers

• Enums
• Alias
• Namespace
• Order
• Annotations
  • This one is a bit more complicated, there can be 0..N unique annotations to be parsed, they can be before or after the type. See MultiAnnotations.avdl
• Fixed length
  • TODO: default on record?
  • Why is it not possible to set an aliases on a fixed?
• Records and errors
  • Record
  • RecordField
  • Error
• RecordField
  • Named schema's aliases are for the schema's name which might be namespaced. Record field's aliases are for the field's name which is not namespaced. The field's type might be a (namespaced) reference to Schema.src
• Protocol
• Primitive types
  • string = &str
    • properly parse unicode strings
  • boolean = bool
  • int = i32
  • long = i64
  • float = f32
  • double = f64
  • null = ?
  • bytes = [u8]
• Logical types
  • uuid -> valid uuid string
  • decimal (logical type decimal)
  • date (logical type date) -> int
  • time_ms (logical type time-millis) -> int
  • time-micros by @logicalType -> long
  • timestamp_ms (logical type timestamp-millis) -> long
  • timestamp-micros by @logicalType -> long
  • duration -> fixed type of size 12
    • TODO: Validations
    • TODO: Improve parsing of default
• Complex types
  • Arrays
    • basic support
    • defaults?
    • array of array
  • Maps
  • Unions
• Default values
  • Enum
• Comments
  • doc (/** foo */)
  • comments
    • Move everything to use the field_parser
    • Write more tests for comments
