Honestly, even as a transport datatype it's always bothered me that JSON lacks a well defined number. I mean, if your going to allow infinitely large numbers shouldn't you explicitly support them with Big types? EDIT: and if you want fixed size numbers (for many good reasons) then what size? JSON as a config is another story, and I completely agree with this link. I'm a personal fan of TOML[1] for many purposes. [1]: https://github.com/toml-lang/toml https://github.com/toml-lang/toml
