Avro

Consumes Avro Object Container Files. Each datum in the file becomes a separate message.

Field	Type	Default	Description
Avro Raw JSON	boolean	false	Decode into standard JSON instead of Avro JSON encoding. Standard JSON is friendlier for downstream processors that expect ordinary JSON. Avro JSON wraps union values in { "<type>": value } objects, which is faithful to the spec but awkward to consume

Avro JSON vs raw JSON

Avro union schemas like ["null", "string", "Foo"] encode differently depending on which mode is chosen:

Value	Avro JSON	Standard JSON
null	null	null
string "a"	{"string": "a"}	"a"
Foo record	{"Foo": {...}}	{...}

Enable Avro Raw JSON when downstream processors expect ordinary JSON shapes.
