I believe this is exactly the way #value: works.
Is there a reason why the following does work for you in such a case?

WAJsonCanvas builder render: [ :json |
	json value:  (Array with: 'string' with: 3.14 with: (Dictionary new at: 'key' put: 'value';yourself))
	]

The way I understand how the canvas is designed is that #value still supports the 'old-style' conversion of Smalltalk object to json, and that #object:, #array, etc. allow to build json directly without the intermediate stop of building arrays and dictionaries. But I must admit I have not played with the JSON Canvas in 3.1 yet.
