fixBigInt transforms some GET request res.bodys to string.

Lines 3 to 5 in 64fe98f

	export const fixBigInt = (obj: object | null) =>
	// eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/no-unsafe-return
	obj === null ? null : JSON.stringify(obj, (_key, value) => (typeof value === 'bigint' ? Number(value) : value))

It seems there is no particular need to implement fixBigInt this way.

In fact, few services that utilize the fixBigInt parse the returned string back to object.

nowdatabase/backend/src/services/species.ts

Line 70 in 64fe98f

return JSON.parse(fixBigInt({ ...result, com_taxa_synonym: synonyms || [] })!) as SpeciesDetailsType

Also this transformation is made for only some paths:

nowdatabase/backend/src/routes/species.ts

Line 13 in 64fe98f

return res.status(200).send(fixBigInt(species))

but not

nowdatabase/backend/src/routes/species.ts

Line 20 in 64fe98f

return res.status(200).send(species)

Indeed, best to do it in one level, I probably meant to refactor it into services but forgot some of it.
