Hi Erik
Let me give you the full details I have been doing.
On search, I am retrieving the full document using the transformation and am
converting the document from XML to JSON using ML 6 JSON API.
REST API Params:
q=&options=<<options name>>&collection=<<collection name>>&format=json
the options in the above are used to get the full documents instead of snippet
and transform it to JSON using JSON APIand it's working as expected. As I am
transforming the document into JSON I got into an issue with Boolean values as
below
JSON Result:
{
meaningful_description: "Picture cards for high-utility words, with audio, in
English and Spanish.",
additional_text: "",
viewable: true,
assignable: true,
schedulable: true,
searchable: true,
teacher_managed: false,
se_facing: true,
enrich: false
}
When searched on true or value constraint with true as the search keyword:
Please find the below response.
JSON Result:
{
meaningful_description: "Picture cards for high-utility words, with audio, in
English and Spanish.",
additional_text: "",
viewable: null,
assignable: null,
schedulable: null,
searchable: null,
teacher_managed: false,
se_facing: null,
enrich: false
}
Reason:
When I tried investigating the reason for this, I figured that when true is
searched the boolean values are wrapped with <span class="hit">true</span> -
xml response(this is our custom highlighting wrapping instead of
<higlighlight>true</highlight>).
Because of the value getting wrapped it seems the JSON API is converting the
value to null.
Note: I have a schema defined for the document being returned so that all the
datatypes are returned as expected (integers, boolean, strings etc)

Hi, Gnana:
Apologies -- I'm not sure enough about the searched document and query that
exhibit the suspect behavior to know how to reproduce the issue. Could you
post a sample JSON fragment that's the target of the search and the actual
query?
Thanks for applying the REST API to real-world problems (and for the
encouraging feedback).
