string shouldn't be automatically converted to ruby-symbol

[Enceradeira]

Following tests fails

describe Neography do
  subject { Neography::Rest.new({:port => 7475, :log_enabled => false}) }
  describe 'create_node' do
    it 'should not convert strings to symbol' do
      node = subject.create_node({:text => ':1456'})

      node['data']['text'].class.should == String # fails! expected: String got: Symbol (using ==)
      node['data']['text'].should == ':1456'
    end
  end
end

The string is correctly stored as ':1456' in the database, but I expect it to be returned as a string and not to be converted to a ruby-symbol. I analyzed it on get_node() and I saw that the Oj-library is doing the deserialization but I couldn't see how I could override that behaviour easily.

How could I change that behaviour? Shouldn't neography always return strings?

The default conversion mode for OJ is :object which is causing that problem.

I have changed it to use strict mode.

Oj.default_options = { :mode => :strict }

Thanks for reporting this!
