I think the concern is that large numbers can in fact be encoded in JSON, but there is no guarantee that they will be decoded correctly by a receiver as the format is underspecified. So you have to cater for the ill defined common denominator.
- immibis 2y agoThe format is properly specified; its mapping onto actual hardware people use is not.
- heavenlyblue 2y agoYou should probably encode large numbers as strings.
