convert long to double

[firepick1]

Benoit,

Many thanks for ArduinoJson. I intend to use it in FirePick Delta for CNC motion control adopting a JSON style of interaction modeled after TinyG. I do very much like your library. For larger projects I use Jansson, but your library is excellent for Arduino with its smaller footprint.

On a minor note, I made a small modification that you may or may not want. I convert long to double automatically. For me this simplifies my code so that I can deal with numbers as double regardless. I'm happy working off my fork--that's the only thing I had to change. I know that it's a slippery slope doing this type of "nice conversion." In this case, I found it worthwhile on the client side. The alternate solution is to provide a new utility method (e.g., asNumber()). After careful consideration, I chose this as less invasive of the API.

Anyhow, thanks for ArduinoJson!

This is actually a good feature.
However, I'm always careful when increasing the size of ArduinoJson because it may break existing code.
I think I'll include your patch in ArduinoJson 5.0 that I want to me more tolerant to non standard input.
