Object properties are not parsed correctly

[lathspell]

I have a JSON with the following property:

  ...
   "id" : 63,
   "primary_number" : {
      "ac" : "221",
      "cc" : "49",
      "sn" : "16804109"
   },
   "password" : "secret",
  ....

The JsonRepresentationReader class uses readProperties() to read these property but it only tests if the value is a JSON Arrays, in which case it creates an List, and else stores it as String.

In my example the correct behaviour for the "primary_number" property would be to check for a JSON Object and store that as HashMap.

My quick an dirty patch was to add the following:

            } else if (field.isObject()) {
                Map<String, Object> objectMap = new ObjectMapper().readValue(field.toString(), new TypeReference<Map<String,Object>>() {});
                resource.withProperty(fieldName, objectMap);

But I'm not sure if some kind of readValue() wouldn't be better here.

This should now be supported in the 4.0.x series just released.
