Hey - our JSON output format is currently designed to be non-lossy, in the sense that it encodes all the details of the source types (since ADM is JSON++ and there's quite a bit in that ++ section). We really also need an option for "normal application users" that's lossy but produces the kind of JSON that would be expected by consuming applications that "don't appreciate" the many different kinds of numeric data, the existence of spatial data, etc. I.e., it'd be nice to have a default lossy serialization into JSON as well.... (Note that if someone doesn't want to suffer the loss, they can always do their own out-conversions of the data in the return section of their AQL query to bridge the gap.) Thoughts?
