And given the super-simple rules in the RFC *any* number can be properly represented which is -it seems to me- exactly what Crockford had in mind: that JSON (the data interchange format) does not impose the limits. That the platforms, languages, libraries, and stringify()er and parse()r implementations may have numeric data type limitations, isn't JSON's (the data interchange format) business. -- ( Jorge )();
