### Name of the resource
AWS::Events::Archive
### Resource name
_No response_
### Description
Request to be able to use a JSON string value for the 'EventPattern' property of the AWS::Events::Archive resource[1].
Currently this property only accepts JSON objects, however please note that resource type AWS::Events::Rule also contains the 'EventPattern' property[2].
The 'EventPattern' property for rules can support the usage of JSON string values.
See sample:
```
{
"Resources": {
"EventRule": {
"Type": "AWS::Events::Rule",
"Properties": {
"Description": "EventRule",
"EventPattern": "{\"source\":[\"aws.ec2\"]}", //This creates the rule successfully
"State": "ENABLED",
}
},
"SampleArchive": {
"DependsOn": "EventRule",
"Type" : "AWS::Events::Archive",
"Properties" : {
"ArchiveName" : "MyArchive",
"Description" : "Archive for all EC2 events",
"EventPattern" : "{\"source\":[\"aws.ec2\"]}", //This will throw a validation error
"RetentionDays" : "10",
"SourceArn" : "arn:aws:events:us-east-1:123456789012:event-bus/default"
}
}
}
}
```
Request to implement functionality such that JSON string can also be used for the 'EventPattern' property of the AWS::Events::Archive resource.

Research direction
Start with the linked AWS::Events::Archive and AWS::Events::Rule documentation, then compare how their EventPattern properties validate object and JSON string values. The repository provides no source files, tests, or entry points; done means confirming that AWS::Events::Archive accepts the JSON string form described in the example.
