Or json/php serialized? :)
it is braindead to expect such bad magic in a programing-language normally this convertion happens when the programmer had made something wrong (forgot serialize as example), now you are coming and think JSON is cool and convert silently, so what will unserialize() do with this crap after reading the data from mysql? this conversion should never happen and throw a fatal error since this action is destructive to data and never useful nor will warnings/notices helps in the real world
