This makes it possible to change some params and rerun a pipeline without recompiling the code. I believe such string is enough for serialization, and I choose to use json as the unified serialized string, which is standard and friendly. But I'm also thinking whether it's good to use json, what do you think? 3.I'm working on adding tests, including this. It can be done today. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
