Robert Newson commented on COUCHDB-1407:
----------------------------------------
For my part, I fully accept the notion that we've adhered to the JSON semantics
for numbers. However, I think we all recognize that the JSON semantics for
numbers are rubbish.
At the very least, as I noted on the 1.2.0 voting thread, this should be
recorded in 'BREAKING CHANGES' but I think we ought to fix it. I will devote
some cycles to that end.
> JSON encoding of number changes
> -------------------------------
>
> Key: COUCHDB-1407
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1407
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: HTTP Interface
> Affects Versions: 1.2
> Environment: Ubuntu 12.04 (alpha)
> Reporter: Adam Lofts
>
> JSON encoding of Number has changed from 1.0.2 to 1.2. JSON only defines
> Number but this change causes issues in my app because python decodes the
> number as an int in 1.2.
> Test case:
> PORT=5985
> curl -X DELETE http://localhost:$PORT/test-floats/
> curl -X PUT http://localhost:$PORT/test-floats/
> curl -X PUT http://localhost:$PORT/test-floats/doc1 -H "Content-Type:
> application/json" -d "{ \"a\": 1.0 }"
> curl http://localhost:$PORT/test-floats/doc1
> Run against 1.0.2:
> {"ok":true}
> {"ok":true}
> {"ok":true,"id":"doc1","rev":"1-78e61304147429d3d500aee7806fd26d"}
> {"_id":"doc1","_rev":"1-78e61304147429d3d500aee7806fd26d","a":1.0}
> Run against 1.2:
> {"ok":true}
> {"ok":true}
> {"ok":true,"id":"doc1","rev":"1-78e61304147429d3d500aee7806fd26d"}
> {"_id":"doc1","_rev":"1-78e61304147429d3d500aee7806fd26d","a":1}
