Json to avro conversion

Question

I'm converting Json to avro. I have json data in JSONArray. So while converting it into byte array i'm facing the problem.

below is my code:

static byte [] fromJsonToAvro(JSONArray json, String schemastr) throws Exception {

ExcelToJson ejj = new ExcelToJson();
List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();


if (json != null) { 
    int len = json.length();
    for (int i=0;i<len;i++){ 
        list.add(json.get(i).toString());
    } 
}


InputStream input = new ByteArrayInputStream(list.getBytes()); //json.toString().getBytes()

 DataInputStream din = new DataInputStream(input); 
                  .
                  . 
                  .//rest of the logic

So how can i do it? How to convert JsonArray object to bytes(i.e., how to use getBytes() method for JsonArray objects). The above code giving an error at list.getBytes() and saying getBytes() is undifined for list.
