- hiciu 1y agoIt's PHP. Handling numbers in PHP is complicated enough that a reasonable person would not trust it by default. https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.numeric-strings.php https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.numeric-strings...
- int_19h 1y agoI know that PHP will treat a string as if it were a number if you try to use it in a context where number is expected; JS does the same thing. But why would that affect JSON deserialization in a way that makes numbers and strings indistinguishable in principle (causing the loss of precision as described here)?
