Apache Fory 1.7.8 is available from the download page. This release adds two Java JSON APIs for framework authors and expands the types Rust applications can serialize.

Java JSON​

Frameworks with their own serializers can use ForyJson.readUtf8 and writeUtf8 to read or write one JSON value directly. For example, this round trip encodes an integer as UTF-8 JSON and reads it back:

ForyJson json = ForyJson.builder().build();
byte[] bytes = json.writeUtf8(writer -> writer.writeInt(7));
int id = json.readUtf8(bytes, 0, bytes.length, reader -> reader.readInt());

The reader and writer are valid for the duration of the callback. See token-level reading and writing for object and array handling.

Applications can also enable failOnDuplicateProperties(true) to reject repeated known properties when reading an object. For example, an object mapped to an id property rejects {"id":1,"id":2} with that option enabled. The default keeps the last value. Use @JsonDuplicateProperties to choose the behavior for an individual class. See duplicate properties.

Rust smart pointers​

Rust models can now use smart pointers to str and [T], including Arc<str> for a shared string and Box<[u8]> for an owned byte slice. These work in native and cross-language modes. With reference tracking enabled, shared and weak pointers can resolve to the same allocation after a round trip. See Rust serialization for field annotations and examples.

Other changes​

  • The Python schema compiler reports an error when two fields would generate the same Python attribute, such as userName and user_name.
  • Java preserves sub-millisecond precision when copying java.sql.Timestamp values.
  • The source SBOM lists components identified in the manifests and lock files included in the source archive.
