[detail level 1234]

▼NAvro
▼NFile
CCodec	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.
CDataBlock	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.
CDataFileConstants	Constants used in data files.
CDataFileReader	Provides access to Avro data written using the DataFileWriter<T>.
CDataFileWriter	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.
CDeflateCodec	Implements deflate compression and decompression.
CHeader	Header on an Avro data file.
CIFileReader	Defines the interface for an object that reads data from a file.
CIFileWriter	Defines the interface for an object that stores in a file a sequence of data conforming to a schema.
CNullCodec	Implements a codec that does not perform any compression. This codec simply returns the bytes presented to it "as-is".
▼NGeneric
CDatumReader	Defines the interface for an object that reads data of a schema.
CDatumWriter	Defines the interface for an object that writes data of a schema.
CDefaultReader	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 differnt Avro schema types, can derive from this class. There are enough hooks in this class to allow customization.
CDefaultWriter	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 acheive results that are different from the default implementation.
CGenericDatumReader	PreresolvingDatumReader<T> for reading data to GenericRecord classes or primitives. For more information about performance considerations for choosing this implementation.
CGenericDatumWriter	PreresolvingDatumWriter for writing data from GenericRecords or primitive types. For more information about performance considerations for choosing this implementation
CGenericEnum	The default class to hold values for enum schema in GenericReader and GenericWriter.
CGenericFixed	The default type used by GenericReader and GenericWriter for objects for FixedSchema
CGenericReader	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.
CGenericRecord	The default type used by GenericReader and GenericWriter for RecordSchema.
CGenericWriter	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.
►CPreresolvingDatumReader	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.
CArrayAccess	Defines the interface for a class that provides access to an array implementation.
CEnumAccess	Defines the interface for a class that provides access to an enum implementation.
CFixedAccess	Defines the interface for a class that provides access to a fixed implementation.
CMapAccess	Defines the interface for a class that provides access to a map implementation.
CRecordAccess	Defines the interface for a class that provides access to a record implementation.
►CPreresolvingDatumWriter	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.
CArrayAccess	Defines the interface for a class that provides access to an array implementation.
CDictionaryMapAccess	Provides access to map properties from an IDictionary.
CEnumAccess	Obsolete - This will be removed from the public API in a future version.
CMapAccess	Defines the interface for a class that provides access to a map implementation.
CRecordFieldWriter	Correlates a record field with the writer used to serialize that field.
▼NIO
CBinaryDecoder	Decoder for Avro binary format
CBinaryEncoder	Write leaf values.
CByteBufferInputStream	Utility to present MemoryStreams as an InputStream.
CByteBufferOutputStream	Utility to collect data written to an OutputStream in MemoryStreams.
CDecoder	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.
CEncoder	Defines the interface for a class that provies low-level support for serializing Avro values.
CICallback	Obsolete - This will be removed from the public API in a future version.
CInputStream	Base class for an input stream.
COutputStream	Base class for an output stream.
▼NReflect
CArrayHelper	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.
CAvroFieldAttribute	Attribute that specifies the mapping between an Avro field and C# class property.
CClassCache	Class holds a cache of C# classes and their properties. The key for the cache is the schema full name.
CDateTimeOffsetToLongConverter	Convert C# DateTimeOffset properties to long unix time
CDotnetClass	Collection of DotNetProperty objects to repre
CFuncFieldConverter	Field converter using a Func
CIAvroFieldConverter	Converters can be added to properties with an AvroField attribute. Converters convert between the property type and the avro type.
CReflectDefaultReader	Reader class for reading data and storing into specific classes
CReflectDefaultWriter	Class for writing data from any specific objects
CReflectReader	Reader wrapper class for reading data and storing into specific classes
CReflectWriter	Generic wrapper class for writing data from specific objects
CTypedFieldConverter	Constructor
▼NSpecific
CICallbackRequestor	TODO: This interface needs better documentation.
CISpecificProtocol	Defines the interface for a class that implements a specific protocol. TODO: This interface needs better documentation.
CISpecificRecord	Interface class for generated classes
►CObjectCreator	Resolves and creates types associated with a schema and/or name. You should generally use the shared Instance to take advantage caching.
CNameCtorKey	Obsolete: This will be removed from the public API in a future version.
CSpecificDatumReader	PreresolvingDatumReader for reading data to ISpecificRecord classes.
CSpecificDatumWriter	PreresolvingDatumWriter for writing data from ISpecificRecord classes.
