We can probably only serialize the key-value string pairs from the Configuration as a JSON object (kind of a read only copy). Yes I had similar thoughts on this topic. Let me think about this for a bit and we can discuss how we'd like to approach/improve this situation -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
