when i serialize and deserialize python built-in structure I'm expect output same as input
BUT when I'm tring do it with dict I got str keys instead of integer
Notice keys must be [0, '1'] but actually are ['0', '1']

See the documentation. This is documented behavior. The JSON format supports only string keys, and all keys are coerced to strings when serialized to JSON.
