Binary / Base64 decoding upon Json Deserialization?

Hello there,

xml (de)serialization seems to automatically base64 en/decode binary data, but the json one apparently does not... and I was wondering whether that's somehow already planned or on purpose left out?

Cheers & thanks, -J

I don't believe this was done deliberately. While I personally can't see myself using json with blobs, there's no reason we should support it. Send in a patch and we'll take a look.
