Done. Developers even have a readily available reference implementations simply by typing JSON.stringify(...) into the JavaScript console of their browser. > Not done. By saying that it should be done as per JSON.stringify(), you basically preclude the use of JSON for languages which _do_ have the ability to represent numbers outside of IEEE 754, and that includes numbers as simple as 0.1. It is not because ECMA 262 has made the braindead decision of limiting numbers to IEEE 754 that JSON should follow way. RFC 4627 didn't make that mistake and I certainly hope any IETF-related work concerning JSON will not make such a mistake either. -- Francis Galiegue, fgaliegue@gmail.com Try out your JSON Schemas: http://json-schema-validator.herokuapp.com
