I'd like to initiate a vote on this RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/json_preserve_fractional_part
TLDR: this RFC would add a new json_encode option to preserve fractional part of float numbers when they are 0. Ie, encoding (float)10 to json will be 10.0. PS: This is not enabled by default. The code was implemented and available on https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/642 Preview discussions on: - http://marc.info/?l=php-internals&m=141507087629656&w=2 - http://marc.info/?l=php-internals&m=141953602116283&w=2 Thanks, Juan Basso
