    # I know this looks pretty ugly, but we have issues with Neo4j returning true, false,
    # plain numbers and plain strings, which is considered by some JSON libraries to be
    # invalid JSON, but some consider it perfectly fine.
    # This ugly hack deals with the problem.  Send me a Pull Request if you
    # come up with a nicer solution... please!
