getLocalRow gives wrong data after deleting row - jqgrid

Question

I am using jqgrid version 4.6.0
I started using getLocalRow in jqGrid after I asked a question in
This Question
Here is a sample code I prepared When some one clicks a button I delete row2 but when I do ('getLocalRow', 2) it gives me row 3 ? Isn't the rowId param in getLocalRow the rowID of the grid which is the key? getRowData works as expected but I don't want to use that because It gives me everything as a string as noted in This Question and answered in This Answer
Here is the jsFiddle sample to test.
deleteRow = function()
{
$("#list").jqGrid('delRowData', 2);
var row2 = $("#list").jqGrid('getLocalRow', 2);
var row3 = $("#list").jqGrid('getLocalRow', 3);
var row2Corrent = $("#list").jqGrid('getRowData', 2); // Empty
var row3correct = $("#list").jqGrid('getRowData', 3);// gives {id:3, DocGroupName: "name3", DocList: "list3", Mandatory: "No"},
}
"use strict";
var mydata = [
{id:1, DocGroupName: "name1", DocList: "list1", Mandatory: "Yes"},
{id:2, DocGroupName: "name2", DocList: "list2", Mandatory: "No"},
{id:3, DocGroupName: "name3", DocList: "list3", Mandatory: "No"},
{id:4, DocGroupName: "name4", DocList: "list4", Mandatory: "Yes"},
];
$("#list").jqGrid({
//url:'php.scripts/customers.get.php',
//datatype: 'xml',
//mtype: 'POST',
datatype: "local",
data: mydata,
height: "auto",
colNames: ['id', 'Document Group Name','Document Name','No of Mandatory'],
colModel :[
{name:'id',key:true, index:'id', width:55},
{name:'DocGroupName', index:'DocGroupName', width:90, editable: true,edittype: 'select',
},
{name:'DocList', index:'DocList', width:90, editable: true },
{name:'Mandatory', index:'Mandatory', width:90, editable: true}
],
pager: '#pager',
rowNum:10,
rowList:[10,20,30],
sortname: 'idcustomers',
sortorder: 'asc',
viewrecords: true,
gridview: true,
caption: 'Customers',
cellEdit: true,
cellsubmit: 'clientArray',
afterSaveCell: function(rowid,name,val,iRow,iCol) {
if(name=='DocGroupName')
{
var row = $('#list').jqGrid('getRowData',currentRow);
row.DocList='';
var row = $('#list').jqGrid('setRowData',currentRow,row);
}
},
beforeSaveCell: function(rowid,name,val,iRow,iCol) {
// var row = $("#list").getRowData(rowid);
var row = $('#list').jqGrid('getRowData',rowid);
currentRow= rowid;
},
});

Answer 1

The only solution I found to the problem is to use
getRowData(rowId);
Since getrowdata gives everything as a string I was required to do some data conversions for example
var intValue= parseInt(intField);
When I wanted the id from string or
var trueFalse= parseBool(boolField);
function parseBool(val) {
return val === true || val === "true"
}
When I wanted boolean from string.
It is a bit of extra work but that is the only option I am left of.
