What it is and what it does
This package provided Avro serialization and deserialization for data stored in Azure Schema Registry, allowing automatic schema registration and retrieval. It included both synchronous and asynchronous APIs (added in version 1.0.0b4) and handled schema caching at the client level.
However, the package is no longer maintained as of its final release on 2023-08-15. The maintainers have explicitly directed users to migrate away from it. Installing this package now means adopting deprecated, unmaintained code with no path forward for bug fixes or security updates.
Use it for
- Maintaining legacy code that already uses this package while planning migration.
- Understanding the deprecated API surface for historical context or documentation purposes.
- Temporary compatibility layer while transitioning a large codebase to a replacement.
