Description

JSON encoding of Number has changed from 1.0.2 to 1.2. JSON only defines Number but this change causes issues in my app because python decodes the number as an int in 1.2.

Test case:

PORT=5985

curl -X DELETE http://localhost:$PORT/test-floats/
curl -X PUT http://localhost:$PORT/test-floats/

curl -X PUT http://localhost:$PORT/test-floats/doc1 -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "

{ \"a\": 1.0 }

"
curl http://localhost:$PORT/test-floats/doc1

Run against 1.0.2:

{"ok":true} {"ok":true} {"ok":true,"id":"doc1","rev":"1-78e61304147429d3d500aee7806fd26d"} {"_id":"doc1","_rev":"1-78e61304147429d3d500aee7806fd26d","a":1.0}

Run against 1.2:

{"ok":true} {"ok":true} {"ok":true,"id":"doc1","rev":"1-78e61304147429d3d500aee7806fd26d"} {"_id":"doc1","_rev":"1-78e61304147429d3d500aee7806fd26d","a":1}
