 # Changelog JSON Format
 
-Flink supports to emit changelogs in JSON format and interpret the output back again.
+**WARNING:** The CDC format `changelog-json` is deprecated since Flink CDC version 2.2.
+The CDC format `changelog-json` was introduced at the point that Flink didn't offer any CDC format. Currently, Flink offers several well-maintained CDC formats i.e.[Debezium CDC, MAXWELL CDC, CANAL CDC](https://nightlies.apache.org/flink/flink-docs-release-1.14/docs/connectors/table/formats/overview/), we recommend user to use above CDC formats.
 
-Dependencies
-------------
-
-In order to setup the Changelog JSON format, the following table provides dependency information for both projects using a build automation tool (such as Maven or SBT) and SQL Client with SQL JAR bundles.
-
-### Maven dependency
-
-```
-<dependency>
-  <groupId>com.ververica</groupId>
-  <artifactId>flink-format-changelog-json</artifactId>
-  <!-- the dependency is available only for stable releases. -->
-  <version>2.2-SNAPSHOT</version>
-</dependency>
-```
-
-### SQL Client JAR
-
-```Download link is available only for stable releases.```
-
-Download [flink-format-changelog-json-2.2-SNAPSHOT.jar](https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/ververica/flink-format-changelog-json/2.2-SNAPSHOT/flink-format-changelog-json-2.2-SNAPSHOT.jar) and put it under `<FLINK_HOME>/lib/`.

-How to use Changelog JSON format
-----------------
-
-```sql
--- assuming we have a user_behavior logs
-CREATE TABLE user_behavior (
-    user_id BIGINT,
-    item_id BIGINT,
-    category_id BIGINT,
-    behavior STRING,
-    ts TIMESTAMP(3)
-) WITH (
-    'connector' = 'kafka',  -- using kafka connector
-    'topic' = 'user_behavior',  -- kafka topic
-    'scan.startup.mode' = 'earliest-offset',  -- reading from the beginning
-    'properties.bootstrap.servers' = 'localhost:9092',  -- kafka broker address
-    'format' = 'json'  -- the data format is json
-);
-
--- we want to store the the UV aggregation result in kafka using changelog-json format
-create table day_uv (
-    day_str STRING,
-    uv BIGINT
-) WITH (
-    'connector' = 'kafka',
-    'topic' = 'day_uv',
-    'scan.startup.mode' = 'earliest-offset',  -- reading from the beginning
-    'properties.bootstrap.servers' = 'localhost:9092',  -- kafka broker address
-    'format' = 'changelog-json'  -- the data format is changelog-json
-);
-
--- write the UV results into kafka using changelog-json format
-INSERT INTO day_uv
-SELECT DATE_FORMAT(ts, 'yyyy-MM-dd') as date_str, count(distinct user_id) as uv
-FROM user_behavior
-GROUP BY DATE_FORMAT(ts, 'yyyy-MM-dd');
-
--- reading the changelog back again
-SELECT * FROM day_uv;
-```

-           <li>Option 'ISO-8601'will parse input timestamp in "yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.s{precision}" format, e.g '2020-12-30T12:13:14.123' and output timestamp in the same format.</li>

-Data Type Mapping
-----------------
-
-Currently, the Canal format uses JSON format for deserialization. Please refer to [JSON format documentation](https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-stable/dev/table/connectors/formats/json.html#data-type-mapping) for more details about the data type mapping.
+### Compatibility Note
 
+User can still obtain and use the deprecated `changelog-json` format from older Flink CDC version e.g. [flink-format-changelog-json-2.1.1.jar](https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/ververica/flink-format-changelog-json/2.1.1/flink-format-changelog-json-2.1.1-SNAPSHOT.jar).
