Description

Using JQuery on the browser side in conjunction with GET or POST operations, the root var name is typlically 'data'. If you serialized a simpl String through XStream with the JSON driver, you'd be given

{ string : "foo " }

or similar.

In the JavaScript in the browser, you'd address that as ...

   alert( data.string );

It would be nice to address it simply as ...

  alert(data);

Can we have a switch on the Json Driver : noRootNode(true); ?

Neither

"value"

nor

{ "value" }

is valid JSON.

The current JSON driver already has this no root flag (see XSTR-434), but will throw a ConversionException for a single value.

The new JsonWriter does support now also a mode to return simple values although it violates JSON. If created a new SNAPSHOT for your convenience.
