Using `strconv.FormatFloat(val, 'g', 10, 64)` to format floats means that very large or very small numbers will be rounded. For example, a value of 123456789012345680 will be saved as 123456789000000000. By using -1 for precision means the smallest number of digits will be used to exactly represent a float.
