Serialization of primitive properties

[ftomassetti]

While working on serialization I noticed that some property values (in particular boolean properties) are serialized as JSON booleans (e.g., true or false). My understanding is that all property values should be serialized as strings (e.g., "true" or "false"), so when copying https://github.com/LIonWeb-org/lioncore-typescript/blob/main/models/library.json into the lioncore-java repository I have changed those values.

I am opening the issue to discuss how to converge on this point.

Let's discuss on Wednesday.

Result: yes, all primitive values should be serialized as strings (including JSON).

Is there anything from your discussion to add to LionWeb-io/specification#34, especially regarding rationale?

[dslmeinte]

It seems not. Maybe the biggest thing is that JSON is to be JSON.stringify-d at serialization and then JSON.parse-d at deserialization.
