Decode JSON with type convert from string to integer about encoding HOT 3 OPEN

Hello @priyadarshan1995, thanks for reporting the issue!

I'll look into the issue a little later today 👍

from encoding.

Looking more into this, it appears this is a poorly documented behavior of the standard library, here is what the documentation says:

The "string" option signals that a field is stored as JSON inside a JSON-encoded string. It applies only to fields of string, floating point, integer, or boolean types. This extra level of encoding is sometimes used when communicating with JavaScript programs:

Pointers are not mentioned here.

I'll look into adapting our implementation to match the encoding/json package's behavior tho, it seems important to avoid breaking code that attempts to leverage this package.
