Hi ESers, Please allow me wasting a little bit of your precious time on a topic which doesn't appear to be completely agreed upon.
As you know JSON Numbers in ECMAScript are currently limited to IEEE-754 Double Precision. To support interoperability with JSON.parse(), providers of JSON tools for other platforms have taken somewhat different paths when dealing with BigInteger, Long, Money, BigNumber, etc. One camp headed by the JDK (Java) folks advocates the use of *adaptive notation* where the actual value governs if the value should be furnished as a JSON Number or embedded in a JSON String. Other camps claim that *consistent notation* embedding values in JSON Strings would be more useful, albeit at the cost of always requiring two additional bytes. WDYT?
