[OASIS Issue Tracker] (ODATA-754) Clarify that numeric enum values are serialized as strings

[OASIS Issues Tracker <workgroup_mailer@lists.oasis-open.org>]

     [ https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/ODATA-754?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Michael Pizzo updated ODATA-754:
--------------------------------

    Proposal: 
Add example for numeric value to section 7.1

Rephrase sentence to


    Values of type enumValue are represented as JSON strings. 
    The preferred representation is the enumerationMember, defined in
    [OData-ABNF], where available.

Strengthen wording throughout that the numeric value should only be used if there is no string equivalent, both in payloads and in urls.

> Section 7.1 states that
>     Values of type enumValue are represented as JSON strings using the
>     enumerationMember, defined in [OData-ABNF], where available.
> Unfortunately it does not state explicitly how the numeric alternative values for enumeration members are to be serialized.
> The original intent stated in https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/ODATA-96 and the referenced revised proposal https://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/odata/download.php/47997/Supporting%20Enumeration%20Types%20in%20OData.docx was to 
>     support the alternate representation of an enumeration value as the
>     underlying integer value as a string.
> with an explicit example for JSON
>     "color":"32"
