Description Tomás Cohen Arazi 2017-01-17 17:54:32 UTC
We need to coerce boolean values so they are converted to JSON boolean values by JSON::Validator instead of just passing the '1' and '0' strings.

Steps to reproduce:
- Have a patron with 'Lost card' set to 'Yes'.
- Open your favourite REST testing tool (HttpRequester on Firefox for example)
- Point it to http://localhost:8081/api/v1/patrons/16
(assuming your borrowernumber is 16)
=> FAIL: You get an error mentioning a Boolean is expected and got a String value.

Adding a TO_JSON method seems a better approach as it won't hide data issues (which could happen if coercing values into booleans).
