JSONCast Force conversion to str for unhandled types

[circulon]

This fixes issues when casting types like Decimal to JSON throwing a TypeError

better to convert it to float

class JSONEncoder(json.JSONEncoder):
    def default(self, obj):
        if isinstance(obj, Decimal):
            return float(obj)
        return json.JSONEncoder.default(self, obj)

@if4lcon No you miss the point, Decimal is just an example and is not the only use case here. Other examples are UUID so by defining the default any obect that is not directly JSON encodable will be asked for its str repr which is encodable.

Also converting a Decimal to float loses specificity of the value so that would not be ideal, but that is another conversation

I hope this clarifies things for you
