as<bool>() not working

Created by: Daemach

I'm trying to parse an array of single char strings (because my server is a pita) into a boolean array. The relevant portion looks like this:

"aPortDir":["0","0","1","1","1","1","1","1"]

This code turns them all to 0's

     for (int j = 0; j < root["aPortDir"].size(); j++) {
        config.aPortDir[j] = root["aPortDir"][j].as<bool>();
     }

config struct defines that array as

boolean aPortDir[8] = {false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false};
