I have a simple JSON
String jsonPayload = "{\"empid\": \"6\",\"empname\": \"Saurabh\",\"address\": \"home\"}";
jsonPayload.getBytes();
I created avro schema
{"namespace": "sample.namespace",
"type": "record",
"name": "Employee",
"fields": [
{"name": "empid", "type": "string"},
{"name": "empname", "type": "string"},
{"name": "address", "type": "string"}
]
}
When I try to compare them I get an error Exception :

Looks like there is problem with String and Charsequence identification. Not able to identify exact problem
