Subject: luci-base: do not coerce objects to strings
X-Git-Url: http://git.99rst.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2682aecc7fcf56a09b0489cfa84136286142b8de;p=openwrt-luci.git

luci-base: do not coerce objects to strings

When getting values from the form, especially in a JSONMap,
some objects may be nested, and as such, it's not much use
to return '[object Object]'. Return the object instead, so
the caller can do something useful with it. This makes
multidimensional maps much easier to use.
