    Description

      The JsonSlurper LAX parser parses an invalid number incorrectly:

      Example.java
      import groovy.json.*
      
      def obj = new JsonSlurper().setType(JsonParserType.LAX).parseText('{ "num": 1a}')
      println "1a: num = ${obj.num}"
      println "1a: type is " + obj.num.class.name
      
      obj = new JsonSlurper().setType(JsonParserType.LAX).parseText('{ "num": 1A}')
      println "1A: num = ${obj.num}"
      println "1A: type is " + obj.num.class.name
      

      produces:
      1a: num = 59
      1a: type is java.lang.Integer
      1A: num = 27
      1A: type is java.lang.Integer

      It seems like the parser should fail this as an invalid number, though one could argue the LAX parser could interpret it as hex 1a, but neither is being done. Valid numbers are of course parsed correctly.
