[Bug]: convertJSON function in the JsonInternalUtils is not working correctly for string types.

[SasinduDilshara]

Description

public static Object convertJSON(Object jsonValue, Type targetType) {
  targetType = TypeUtils.getImpliedType(targetType);
  Type matchingType;
................
  case TypeTags.STRING_TAG:
                  if (jsonValue instanceof BString) {
                      return jsonValue;
                  }
                  return jsonValue.toString();
.............
}

This is the current implementation of the convertJSON function in the JsonInternalUtils.
This is wrong. This should be corrected as following.

public static Object convertJSON(Object jsonValue, Type targetType) {
  targetType = TypeUtils.getImpliedType(targetType);
  Type matchingType;
................
  case TypeTags.STRING_TAG:
                  if (jsonValue instanceof BString) {
                      return jsonValue;
                  }
                  return <convert jsonvalue to BString>;
.............
}
