Proposal to add Circe support

[joan38]

Hi,

For the people using Circe with Kafka Streams I have created a little Serde adapter: https://github.com/joan38/kafka-streams-circe

This is way too tiny to be in a separate repo on it's own so I was thinking maybe it's a good idea to add this here in a separate project.

Something like:

• kafka-streams-core
• kafka-streams-circe
• docs (with sbt-microsite for example)
• (Any other stuff here?)

Just like in https://github.com/sksamuel/elastic4s
This may solve the questions around #42

Let me know what you think. I'm more than happy to do the change.

Cheers

This is irrelevant now since this repo got merged in apache/kafka

Is there a corresponding issue in apache/kafka? Is this still the only way to use circe with Kafka?

Hi @DevonPeroutky

I don't think apache/kafka would like to be circe specific. The easy way to use it is to depend on:

"com.goyeau" %% "kaka-streams-circe" % "0.5"

See https://github.com/joan38/kafka-streams-circe for more info.

Yeah, that's what I ended up doing. Thanks for writing this. It's exactly what I needed!
