Yeah, and it isn't like jq is being incorrect in this, the JSON RFCs recommend not using values that can't be represented as a 64 bit float (pasted links to a few RFCs in another response). So if you want to represent a large number safely, better to put it in a string, where special handling can be done after the initial JSON parse without loss of information.


No, it doesn't. It's not a SHOULD.

And why should Qt be concerned with what jq can or can't do? If you're writing and reading back from Qt, the limitations of other implementations don't apply.
