Summary

This change combines the config and json_config fields for Wasm filters.

Before, JSON configuration lived in the json_config attribute, and config could only hold strings:

{
  filters = {
    {
      name = "my-filter-with-string-config",
      config = "a=1 b=2",
    },
    {
      name = "my-filter-with-json-config",
      json_config = {
        a = 1,
        b = 2,
      }
    },
  }
}

Now, both string and JSON configurations live in config:

{
  filters = {
    {
      name = "my-filter-with-string-config",
      config = "a=1 b=2",
    },
    {
      name = "my-filter-with-json-config",
      config = {
        a = 1,
        b = 2,
      }
    },
  }
}

The json_config field/attribute was introduced recently and is unreleased, so this change does not break any existing API.

Note: filters may only use JSON in config if they have supplied a JSON schema in a {{filter}}.meta.json file. Filters without a JSON schema may still accept JSON configuration, but it must be serialized, and it will not be validated in any way by the admin API:

{
  filters = {
    {
      name = "my-filter-with-json-config-and-schema",
      config = {
        a = 1,
        b = 2,
      }
    },
    {
      name = "my-filter-with-json-config-but-no-schema",
      config = [[{
        "a": 1,
        "b": 2
      }]]
    },
  }
}
