Need to handle additionalProperties in JSON serialization

[Porges]

When serializing an ObjectType that has an additionalProperties field to JSON, we need to flatten the properties inside it into the “parent” type. I’m not sure this is even possible with the built-in JSON Go serialization library, so we might need to look elsewhere.

Where does this come up?

Where does this come up?

Mostly services that have a “map but with some well-known entries” pattern.

We're still interested in doing this.

Have we actually already done this? We should double-check

[theunrepentantgeek]

We haven't done this, but would be good to do.

No change from above

Wondering if there's a way to know which services these are? Maybe we should take a look and get an understanding of how large the problem is to understand how important this is to fix?

Haven't had time to do the above checking yet, but it also doesn't seem to be a major problem for users currently.
