Get the value when enumerator is jsonSerialized

marc-mabe commented 6 years ago

Hi @hellow7758521,

I don't think that this is a very good idea because of the following reasons:

JSON serialializing has nothing to do with an enum implementation
It's super simple to implement in your own defined enumerations
it might be naturally for you to serialize based on the values but other probably would use the ordinal number or both
it's not possible to know how to serialize array objects -> should that be in JS-Object-Notation or JS-Array (php value [] to JSON value [] or {})
