JObject transport integer replacements

[mrn-aglic]

Not sure if this is by design. But could use some help.
I'm using Akka, Akka.Cluster and Akka.Cluster.Tools version 1.4.7.
Using Newtonsoft.Json 12.0.3.

I'm using Akka.NET with .Net Core 3.1 on a OS X laptop.

I wanted to integrate an example web api that would use ClusterClient to communicate with a Cluster. The issue I have is passing a JObject from Cluster to the API project (ClusterClient to be more specific). As I can see the integers are replaced with JObjects

{
  "Id": {
    "$": "I2"
  },
  "Firstname": "ivo",
  "Lastname": "ivic",
  "Jmbag": "1432",
  "Email": "[email protected]",
  "Ects": {
    "$": "I40"
  },
  "IsEnrolled": true
}

Json looks normal on the Cluster end produced with JObject.FromObject(some_object).
I assume that this is the default behaviour for network transporation. However, I have not found mention of it in the docs, nor an example on how to handle it.
Additionally, I don't understand why integers needed to be replaced.

I'm using ClusterClinet.Ask(...) to get the object. The "problem" is not in the wrapper class, as the same thing happens when receiving JObject without it.

@mrn-aglic would you mind posting a small reproduction sample of the POCOs so we can see what exactly the input is?

@Aaronontheweb I published the example project here:
https://github.com/mrn-aglic/exercise-example/tree/master

Not finished, and may have some bugs.

To start the ClusterBackend:
dotnet run ClusterBackend.csproj /port=12000
dotnet run ClusterBackend.csproj /port=12001

To start asp app
dotnet run RS_01.csproj

TO test once everything is started, go to api:
https://localhost:5001/api/students/1

Relevant actors:

• connectionActor in folder Actors - ASP application
• StorageActor in ClusterBackend application

Closing this - looks like we do it by design, per this comment:
