Avro Editor

Avro Editor is a simple and effective software application that, as the name implies, is designed to help you modify the content of Avro binary files. It features several handy configuration settings that should be to your liking.

Quick installer and well-structured UI

After a brief and uneventful setup procedure that doesn't need special attention, you are welcomed by a user-friendly interface, represented by a normal window with a neatly organized structure, where you can easily open an Avro binary file to study its contents.
It is possible to copy, cut and paste records, insert new ones, repeat or delete them, use a search function when dealing with large amounts of data, clear files, sort entries in ascending order, edit records, jump to a particular line, as well as hide any columns and show new ones.
Information can be exported to external files with the CSV or HTML format, or printed. You can run scripts, filter data, add new attributes, rebuild the tree, find out invalid records, and more.

Evaluation and conclusion

Everything worked smoothly in our tests, thanks to the fact that Avro Editor did not freeze, crash or display error messages. Its impact on the overall performance of the computer was minimal, as it ran on low CPU and RAM.
All in all, Avro Editor may not seem feature-rich, but it actually comes loaded with some useful options for viewing and editing Avro binary files.
