Avro schema from struct generator

This is an avro-schema from struct generator. It ignores functions, channels and other non supported kinds, and creates a avroschema using names from the json tags for your structure.

Usage

avro-generator [-o OUTPUT| -p PACKAGE] <typename>

This can be used together with gogen to generate avroschemas for structs. This usage requres go1.16

//go:generate go run github.com/ptcar2009/avro-generator ExportedStruct
type ExportedStruct struct {
    Field int `json:"field"`
    OtherField struct {
        Enum int
    }
}

Field nomeclature

Fields are named by the json tag value of the struct, or falls back to the struct name.
