Henri Yandell commented on LANG-693:
------------------------------------
The toString may not be the nicest, but it definitely works :)
The only test I get failing if I use it is the LANG-521 "2." use case. That
switches from being a Float to being a BigDecimal. I suspect there might be
problems with exponents though.
All the problems would seem to be creating BigDecimals unnecessarily, rather
than creating Floats and losing data. So worst case the String test seems
preferable.

>
> Method createNumber from NumberUtils is trying to parse a string with a
> floating point number always first as a Float, that will cause that if we
> send a string with a number that will need a Double or even a BigDecimal the
> number will be truncate to accommodate into the Float without an exception to
> be thrown, so in fact we will no be returning ever neither a Double nor a
> BigDecimal.
