+## BigInteger and Java
+
+JSON-P/JSON-B exposes API using `BigDecimal` and `BigInteger`.
+The bridge between these two types is `BigDecimal#toBigInteger` which has a
slow implementation in Java without careness or scale max validation.
+
+Johnzon does some sanity checks on this value but at some point we recommend
you to stay away from these API and handle big numbers using `String` type and
parse them yourself since you are the only ones knowing the correct functional
and relevant validation of the scale before a instantiation.
+
+If you know you don't need such big types, prefer using plain primitives (or
wrappers).
