Hi!

Would you like to elaborate on the use case for this feature? What challenges would it solve?

Hi
Generally that I can store an object in proper json format and still get proper json out from the API. I used return JSON.stringify(myClass) and stored that in a string, this adds escaped backslashes (\) before the quotation marks.
When getting the data from the API the string property is a string and not a json. If it was a json the entire response would be json with a json object where the string is currently placed.

My use case is that I delete items from the system and want to store a log that we retain for 30 days. I.e I want to be able to properly purge the rows from the database, but for support and follow up cases I need to have som track on rows that was deleted, added or manipulated in services and other end points. Alternatively I can store this in a file. Just found it handy to have json as a property type as it results in less parsing and to avoid to use the funtction JSON.parse() as this is not available in all end points.

Generally I see a potential to significantly simplify my data model for some similar use cases. Alternatively I can store as a file, but again it will lead to parsing instead of getting a complete json.

Just asking, but been seeing some use cases here and there for this.

Thanks for the quick reply
