@maxburke noted:

it looks like from arrow 20 to 22 it was made conditional on the json feature, but it's now... gone?

@tustvold says

It was removed as it isn't meant as a stable serialization format

There is still serde::Serialize implemented for Schema if the corresponding feature is enabled but this isn't backwards compatible with the old serialization format

Describe the solution you'd like
I think publishing an arrow-integration-test crate containing the decoding logic for this format makes sense

Describe alternatives you've considered
Copy the code from git into new repos
