Possible bug with json type conversion

[gerchicov-bp]

I need to post a string which contains a number:

<a href="javascript:window.bridge.post('action', {'id': '123'})">SOME_TEXT</a>

I send "123" as string and want to parse it as string with Swift. Instead I get 123 (number).

The problem is every json param of string type may contain digits only and so I should parse each element as both string and int manually. How to fix this issue?

P.S. the most interesting issue is '123' could be returned as String also - if you have assigned it to the tag as attribute value.

I've tried but I got the following results:

<a href="javascript:window.bridge.post('action', {'id': '123', 'id1': 123})">SOME_TEXT</a>

It seems to be better than my code:

if let index = (parameters["id"] as? Int) ?? Int(parameters["id"] as! String) {
   ...
}

Anyways I send a string via javascript and hope to get a string in Swift. Instead the library semirandomly decides by itself what type to use.

I'm in the process of deciding which bridge to use, is this issue a problem or can be ignored?
