[Question] Is encoding.Stringify required?

[msummers-nr]

I'm curious if use of encoding.Stringify is actually required.

I was having issues with contract tests failing due to Request/Response not matching. Digging into that issue I found several bugs in Stringify:

• integers quoted in the Response
• nested structs not honoring the omitempty tag

As a work around I commented out the use of Stringify in cfn.newResponse and everything works- that leads me to wonder why Stringify exists.
