OP is a moron.
You'd generally export those values as strings for enhanced readibility when combined and thrown together in, say, a table. Key word here is EXPORT.
You act as if there is no way to convert that json element back to a float.... silly.
Such an ironic mistake is pretty
amateurish, no?
Although you gotta admit that the guy is pretty darn good at getting worked up, pointing fingers, and name-calling.
A senior level programmer would not make this trivial mistake. My firm wouldn't even hire for junior level the people who designed such a thing should fire me for being such a presumptuous donkey.
