It applies only to fields of string, floating point, integer, or boolean types. This extra level of encoding is sometimes used when communicating with JavaScript programs:\r\n\r\n>     Int64String int64 `json:\",string\"`\r\n\r\nIt would be nice to have such feature to be compatible with the encoding/json.\r\n\r\nAlso, are there any workarounds which can be used now?"}}
