How to prevent removing decimal point when parsing JSON?

Question

If you do this...

var parsed = JSON.parse(\'{\"myNum\":0.0}\') ;

Then when you look at parsed.myNum, you just get 0

Answer 1

It shouldn't matter, 00000.00000 is 0 if you try JSON.parse('{"myNum":0.00001}') you'll see a value of { myNum=0.0001 } If you really need it to hold the decimal you'll need to keep it a string JSON.parse('{"myNum":"0.0"}')
