 Description   

When assigning the body property in restClient's definition, arrays seem to be required to be encapsulated in a string literal. For example:

body:

{   "myArray": "[\"item1\",\"item2\"]" }

 

It would be more clear to maintainers if this value could be stored as:

body:

{   "myArray": ["item1","item2"] }

 

Is this a possibility?
