What is the purpose of the change
The JSON::MaybeXS library serves as a compatibility layer to allow users to select the JSON backend that matches their stack, rather than forcing them to install a specific one, while still benefiting from the performance boost of XS libraries if they are available.
Ticket: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-3998
Verifying this change
This change changes one dependency for a different one with the same interface that serves as an intermediate layer. Existing tests that exercise JSON encoding / decoding verify that this is the case.
In particular, these tests exercise the modified code:
t/01_schema.t
t/05_protocol.t
The only part of the code that changed that is not covered by tests is the
avro-to-json
utility underbin
