Azure Schema Registry Json Schema Serializer client library for Java - version 1.0.0
Azure Schema Registry Json Schema is a serializer and deserializer library for JSON data format that is integrated with Azure Schema Registry hosted in Azure Event Hubs, providing schema storage, versioning, and management. This package provides a serializer capable of serializing and deserializing payloads containing Schema Registry schema identifiers and JSON encoded data.

Getting started
Prerequisites
- A Java Development Kit (JDK), version 8 or later.
- Azure Subscription
- An Event Hubs namespace
Include the Package
<dependency>
<groupId>com.azure</groupId>
<artifactId>azure-data-schemaregistry-jsonschema</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
</dependency>
Create SchemaRegistryJsonSchemaSerializer
instance
The SchemaRegistryJsonSchemaSerializer
instance is the main class that provides APIs for serializing and
deserializing JSON schema format. The JSON schema is stored and retrieved from the Schema Registry service
through the SchemaRegistryAsyncClient
. So, before we create the serializer, we should create the client.
Create SchemaRegistryAsyncClient
with Azure Active Directory Credential
In order to interact with the Azure Schema Registry service, you'll need to create an instance of the
SchemaRegistryAsyncClient
class through the SchemaRegistryClientBuilder
. You will need the Schema Registry endpoint.
You can authenticate with Azure Active Directory using the Azure Identity library. Note that regional endpoints do not support AAD authentication. Create a custom subdomain for your resource in order to use this type of authentication.
To use the DefaultAzureCredential provider shown below, or other credential providers provided
with the Azure SDK, please include the azure-identity
package:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.azure</groupId>
<artifactId>azure-identity</artifactId>
<version>1.13.3</version>
</dependency>
You will also need to register a new AAD application and grant access to Schema Registry service.
TokenCredential tokenCredential = new DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder().build();
JsonSchemaGenerator jsonSchemaGenerator = null;
// {schema-registry-endpoint} is the fully qualified namespace of the Event Hubs instance. It is usually
// of the form "{your-namespace}.servicebus.windows.net"
SchemaRegistryAsyncClient schemaRegistryAsyncClient = new SchemaRegistryClientBuilder()
.fullyQualifiedNamespace("{your-event-hubs-namespace}.servicebus.windows.net")
.credential(tokenCredential)
.buildAsyncClient();
Create SchemaRegistryJsonSchemaSerializer
through the builder
SchemaRegistryJsonSchemaSerializer serializer = new SchemaRegistryJsonSchemaSerializerBuilder()
.schemaRegistryClient(schemaRegistryAsyncClient)
.schemaGroup("{schema-group}")
.jsonSchemaGenerator(jsonSchemaGenerator)
.buildSerializer();
Key concepts
This library provides a serializer, SchemaRegistryJsonSchemaSerializer
. The
SchemaRegistryJsonSchemaSerializer
utilizes a SchemaRegistryAsyncClient
to construct messages using a wire format
containing schema information such as a schema ID. This library allows users to serialize, deserialize, register, and
validate JSON objects by plugging in a JSON schema implementation.
Examples
Serialize
Serialize a POJO object, Address, and register the matching JSON schema if
SchemaRegistryJsonSchemaSerializerBuilder.autoRegisterSchema(boolean)
is set to true
in when creating the
serializer.
Address address = new Address();
address.setNumber(105);
address.setStreetName("1st");
address.setStreetType("Street");
EventData eventData = serializer.serialize(address, TypeReference.createInstance(EventData.class));
The type Address
is available in the test package
com.azure.data.schemaregistry.jsonschema.Address
.
Deserialize
Deserialize a Schema Registry-compatible JSON payload into a strongly-type object and validate it against its JSON schema.
SchemaRegistryJsonSchemaSerializer serializer = createSerializer();
MessageContent message = getSchemaRegistryJSONMessage();
Address address = serializer.deserialize(message, TypeReference.createInstance(Address.class));
Troubleshooting
Enabling Logging
Azure SDKs for Java offer a consistent logging story to help aid in troubleshooting application errors and expedite their resolution. The logs produced will capture the flow of an application before reaching the terminal state to help locate the root issue. View the logging wiki for guidance about enabling logging.
