lua 5.3 to add integer

[teahouse]

local cjson = require "cjson"

local tab = {}
tab[10] = 199
tab.pp = "fan"
local estr = cjson.encode(tab)
print("-------------", estr)
local totab = cjson.decode(estr)
for k,v in pairs(totab) do
print("---fff-------", k,v)
end
the question : 199 change to 199.0, so bad when i use to json protocol to communicate with client!
how to solve it, please.
thanks!

i think of an clumsy solution.we can edit the file lua_cjson.c.
case T_NUMBER:
{
if(token->value.number>(int)(token->value.number))
lua_pushnumber(l, token->value.number);
else
lua_pushinteger(l, token->value.number);
break;;
}

The JSON numbers are floating point (a superset of integers). Any code consuming JSON needs to handle floating point numbers to avoid problems.

Attempting to auto-detect between floats and integers will reduce performance and is likely to cause surprises elsewhere.

Just tested it versus another JSON parsers. Great performance but sample result file 4% bigger due ugly ".0" after any number. Also lua 5.3 natively support int64 while I'm sure cjson returns floats.

So I'll refrain from using it. Fast but not correct.
