Pranav Yogi Lodha commented on ARROW-4700:
------------------------------------------
Hi, as you said here,"Decimals will be represented in JSON as strings", is
there a way in which we can read unquoted values as decimal in arrow or is that
option not available?

> This should be simple to add, since decimals can already be parsed from
> strings. Decimals will be represented in JSON as strings. If a decimal with
> different precision or scale is parsed from the string, should there be any
> acceptable conversions? (for example, if the column is of type {{decimal(5,
> 2)}} should {{"12.3"}} be an error or equivalent to {{"012.30"}}?)
