#2033 [RFE] Allow any data type to be used in parameters
Closed: wontfix 5 years ago Opened 12 years ago by jcholast.

Currently we support only data types which can by directly transmitted over XML-RPC or JSON in Param subclasses. If we want to use a complex data type, the value must be stored as a string (or other primitive type) and converted to/from the complex data type every time we want to manipulate it.

Provide means of converting values to primitive data type when they are to be sent over XML-RPC or JSON so that we can use complex data types in parameters. (The opposite conversion, when receiving the values, can already be done in Param.convert.)
