Dave, The code testval = '.0006' makes me think a string instead of a number. Javacast might force a type on the string eh?

This isn't really a problem with JSON serialization, but with CF being typeless, and CF's tendency to autoconvert numbers into scientific notation. You can work around this by using precisionEvaluate(), the BigDecimal version of the Evaluate function: <cfset x = {testval=precisionEvaluate(.0006)}> <cfdump var="#serializeJSON(x)#"> Note that this will add a leading zero.
