to json -r not removing whitespaces fix (#11948)

fixes #11900  

# Description
Use `serde_json` instead.

# User-Facing Changes
The problem described in the issue now no longer persists.

No whitespace in the output of `to json --raw`
Output of unicode escape changed to consistent `\uffff`

# Tests + Formatting
I corrected all Tests that were affected by this change.
