Raw JSON string as field value

I have a large JSON string data field. I want to return this json string asis without first deserializing it to a python object, and serialize back when it gets sent out. What is the best way to do this?

I saw the JSONString type, but not sure if that is intended for this use. Note that I don’t need type checking on this field. Just want to return the string as JSON data object without the overhead of deserialization and serialization.

@ProjectCheshire kindly offered this example that allows one to override the serialization logic:

class JSONScalar(Scalar):
    """
    Arbitrary JSON Properties for features
    """

    @staticmethod
    def serialize(value):
        return value

    @staticmethod
    def parse_literal(node):
        return node.value

    @staticmethod
    def parse_value(value):
        return value

Hey @jkimbo! Thanks for your reply!

I consider this to be a problem on the serving-side, as an implementation detail behind the graphQL schema.

Suppose I have a large JSON string (5MB) that is read from postgreSQL. Deserializing it into python object, then serialize back is unnecessary. Would be nice if we could __insertUnsafeJson__ into the final graphQL response.
