  1. Very nice article! One observation is that the deserialized output doesn’t exactly match the originally defined object. Specifically, the original enum string values are replaced with numeric values, e.g., { “platform”: “WHATSAPP” } became { “platform”: 0 }, and { “relationship”: “FRIEND” } became { “relationship”: 0 }. How do you reconcile this? Is there a way to preserve the original string values for enums?
