Hi,
If you're passing it as a numeric literal, e.g.:
{ "price": 14.20 }
...what you're dealing with is a number, which you'll later *render*
as a string for display. All JavaScript numbers have the same
precision, which I'm not quite geeky enough to quote you. ;-) You'll
need to handle formatting at the presentation stage. Since these are
prices, formatting is pretty straightforward, as the precision doesn't
vary from one price to the next.
If you needed to handle this for numbers where the precision varied,
you'd have to either pass them as strings or pass the precision as a
separate value for use in your formatting code.
HTH,
