Unmarshaling to jsoniter.Number behaves differently from encoding/json

[oschwald]

encoding/json allows non-numeric strings as json.Number while jsoniter requires that the string be a number. For instance, given:

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	jsoniter "github.com/json-iterator/go"
)

func main() {
	b := []byte(`{"test":"blah"}`)

	outputs := map[string]jsoniter.Number{}

	err := jsoniter.Unmarshal(b, &outputs)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	fmt.Printf("%#v\n", outputs)
}

jsoniter panics with:

panic: readNumberAsString: invalid number, parsing 8 ...{"test":... at {"test":"blah"}

goroutine 1 [running]:
main.main()
	m.go:16 +0x1a0

while encoding/json outputs:

map[string]json.Number{"test":"blah"}
