Hello Adrian,
Below is the details...
string jsonString = "{"name": "Ram", "favorite_number": 7, "favorite_color": "green"}";
var schemaJson = "{"type":"record","name":"User","fields":[{"name":"name","type":"string"},{"name":"favorite_number","type":["null","int"]},{"name":"favorite_color","type":["null","string"]}]}";

And My code to serialize:
var jsonObject = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(jsonString);
return AvroConvert.SerializeHeadless(jsonObject, schemaJson);

If you see name is a mandatory field in schema but we are not sending it in jsonString, but it is able to serialize without any error.

Also can we convert it with jObject inseat of generic T object.

Hi,

Thank you for the details. Your suggestion is right according to the Avro specification and I will investigate implementation options.

Since this is a breaking change, I am tagging this issue as a V4 request.

Thanks,
Adrian
