Kevin Liew updated PHOENIX-2324: -------------------------------- Description: JSON specifies a 'number' data type which does not differentiate between integer and floating-point values. Libraries such as RapidJSON can treat all non-integer values as 'double' while still being compliant with JSON specifications. As a result, decimal values sent by Phoenix will lose precision on the client side. Decimal data should be sent as a string to adhere with JSON specifications. If it is sent as a number, it cannot be expected that any JSON-spec compliant library will handle it properly. This also affects float type data was: JSON specifies a 'number' data type which does not differentiate between integer and floating-point values.
