Description

Map the dxb into rust value container for network tracing in a better way, how we access and deserialize is not correct. We can improve here

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review the current implementation in network tracing.rs to understand the data access and deserialization pattern. Look for inefficiencies or incorrect assumptions in the mapping of dxb to Rust value containers. Consider alternative serialization libraries or better Rust patterns for deserialization.
