Deserialization of Maps with any key type #20

Right now, Jerkson only supports deserializing maps with a String, Int, or Long key. Please support deserializing maps with any type of key.

I think I'm encountering this issue.

I want to parse the following:

val s = """{"event":"form","id":"xsD7n7h4rPem6pg0M1Bv19r","data":[{"name":"name","value":"Fred Bloggs"},{"name":"email","value":"[email protected]"}]}"""

Trying this with jerkson (com.codahale.jerkson.Json.parse(s)) gives:

java.lang.ClassCastException: java.util.LinkedHashMap cannot be cast to scala.runtime.Nothing$

However, using the twitter Json parser (com.twitter.json.Json.parse(s)) correctly gives:

Map(event -> form, id -> xsD7n7h4rPem6pg0M1Bv19r, data -> List(Map(name -> name, value -> Fred Bloggs), Map(name -> email, value -> [email protected])))

I have found that I can get most of the way with deserialising maps using:

Json.parse[Map[String, JValue]](json)

for a map between a String key and any kind of value. The resulting JValue needs post-processing but it's mostly useable. However, problems come up as soon as I have a JSON string containing the String or value "null". The above line then gives the error:

com.codahale.jerkson.ParsingException: Can not deserialize instance of com.codahale.jerkson.AST$JValue out of VALUE_NULL token

It seems that it doesn't support "null" as a valid JValue in this context.

Okay, this isn't perfect, but with Coda's assistance I have discovered that Jerkson supports Option types, so, in the above example:

Json.parse[Map[String, Option[JValue]]](json)

works nicely, but for a fuller explanation see my comment on another issue here: #41 (comment)

What about fixing this? 8 months old...
