          Serialization to JSON

          Description

          In many places we un/serialize data for various purposes, but some of these locations may be updated to use JSON instead for simplicity, readability, and security (in cases where a potentially malicious class could be provided to serialization, see http://php.net/manual/en/function.unserialize.php).

          Therefore, we should make an effort to replace serialization with JSON where it makes sense to do so. One of these locations is database logging, particularly module/gateway logs where we receive input from an API (or perhaps a malicious user).

          1. Update modules and gateways to use json_encode and json_decode instead of serialization for logging certain data where appropriate
            • This should be done with backward-compatibility in mind
