Description

Extensions allow to store JSON objects, however, the method to retrieve that object just returns a string - which in turn requires every consumer to parse the string.
Initially we wanted to avoid a dependency on JSON api/impl, however as we need it for the merging of features anyway, we can safely add such a method to the API
