If the standard-to-be is supposed to interoperate with browsers and node.js the only viable option is RFC7493.

If the standard-to-be also targets the financial market, further constraints apply since floating point arithmetic is ill-suited for monetary operations. E.g. a monetary amount of 46.99 should be represented in JSON as the string "46.99".
