cfargument to accept type as JSON

Description

Hi, It wil be great if we get use json as an argument to function, the need for seriallizarion or deserialization will decrease depending upon if we only needs input t/output to to JSOn only like the below:

<cffunction name="test"> <cfargument name="stringvalue" type="JSON" default=""> <cfhttp url="hit an api"> <cfhttpapara type="body" value="#stringvalue#"> </cfhttp> </cffunction>

i know there is type="any" is avaliable, but not sure if Specying JSON will be better or not

Thanks

Internally, they way Lucee checks if a string is json, is to deserialize it to json and then return a boolean success.

So adding a check would still be doing the conversion and throwing away the result of a successful conversion

There is already XML as a type, so it would be consistent, adobe hasn’t added this yet either
