JSON: Precision does not seem to work

[xliiauo]

Hi, I have been using minify/json, but it seems the additional Precision field does not seem to take any effects? I've tested this with code and with the online example. Is it just me or the same for everyone else?

In the example, I'd like the 1000 to remain as 1000, however it's always 1e3 no matter what value I assign to the Precision.

Thank you very much.

Precision specifies the maximum amount of precision to retain. That is, it will cut 1.23456789 to 1.234 for example. The second step is minification, which has nothing to do with precision. The fact is that 1000 is equivalent to 1e3, the second version is shorter which is why it is minified as such. Is there a specific reason why this is a problem for you?

Thank you very much for you quick reply, I misunderstood the usage of Precision.

So I'm building API clients and services. Where the request body from clients are minified using the minify/json. However, from the services side, it is unable to unmarshal the minified 1e3 json numbers in the request json into int64 struct fields. So I'm looking for a way to minify json with out modifying the numbers.

Does that make sense?
