 You may use the "json" middleware to read/write JSON strings as JSON objects and arrays.

-The "pageLimits" middleware limits the page number and the number records returned from a list operation.

+        "price": "23.01",
+        "properties": "{\"depth\":false,\"model\":\"TRX-120\",\"width\":100,\"height\":null}",

+
+    {
+        "id": 1,
+        "name": "Calculator",
+        "price": "23.01",

+            "width": 100,
+            "height": null
+        },
+    }
+
+This also applies when creating or modifying JSON string fields (also when using batch operations).
+
+NB: JSON string fields cannot be partially updated.
