It would be nice to have integers treated separately to doubles. I know it makes the number parsing simpler to just treat everything as double, but still, it could be annoying when you expect an integer type.

That's how I've done it for vibe.data.json, too. For the new
implementation, I've just used the number parsing routine from
Andrei's std.jgrandson module. Does anybody have reservations about
representing integers as "long" instead?

It should automatically fall back to double on overflow. Maybe even use
BigInt if applicable?

I guess BigInt + exponent would be the only lossless way to represent any JSON number. That could then be converted to any desired smaller type as required.

But checking for overflow during number parsing would definitely have an impact on parsing speed, as well as using a BigInt of course, so the question is how we want set up the trade off here (or if there is another way that is overhead-free).

As the functions will be templatized anyway, it should include a flags parameter. These and possible future extensions can then be selected by the user.
