Serialize Map[String, Any] with spray json

Here's an implicit converter I used to do this task:

  implicit object AnyJsonFormat extends JsonFormat[Any] {
    def write(x: Any) = x match {
      case n: Int => JsNumber(n)
      case s: String => JsString(s)
      case b: Boolean if b == true => JsTrue
      case b: Boolean if b == false => JsFalse
    }
    def read(value: JsValue) = value match {
      case JsNumber(n) => n.intValue()
      case JsString(s) => s
      case JsTrue => true
      case JsFalse => false
    }
  }

It was adapted from this post in the Spray user group, but I couldn't get and didn't need to write nested Sequences and Maps to Json so I took them out.

Another option, which should work in your case, is

import spray.json._
import DefaultJsonProtocol._

data.parseJson.convertTo[Map[String, JsValue]]
