The caller would need to obtain the response schema first, in most cases, the schema should be static. In case of API responses, it would be part of the API spec. I would expect most of the users to use the string encoded format and only resort to numbers for performance critical use-cases. For example, in Airflow, by changing the column type from string encoded date time to timestamp numbers, we reduced the frontend load time by almost 90% :) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
