This is "approximately" the de-facto standard for dealing with BigNums and tons of other non-standard types.var obj = JSON.parse("JSON formatted data"); var val = new BigNum(obj.sizeOfTheUniverseInCubicMeters); JSON on the wire: { "sizeOfTheUniverseInCubicMeters": "3.45e+445454545454545776767676676" } When TC-39 introduces BigNums in ES, this is the most likely way they will address this particular aspect.
For serializing BigNums, the toJSON() interface seems like a match made in heaven. Ideally, JSON should have a parseWithSchema() method that automatically coerces string encapsulated data types like above into their proper native representation. thanx, Anders _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
