    Both of these are valid notation. Json spec also says that numbers are floats, so it’s perfectly acceptable to denote them this way. This is why currency should never use a number notation, and instead use a string. If it must be precise, use a string.

      I think they’re pointing out that Python outputs E notation vs JavaScript which outputs the decimal notation.

      Edit: Wasn’t agreeing with it, just explaining what they were pointing out.

        Yeah, but that… doesn’t really matter. So it doesn’t really make sense to post that here, especially with that headline.
