Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] (ODATA-771) Exponential notation for Edm.Decimal values in JSON payloads
[ https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/ODATA-771?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=59506#comment-59506 ] Michael Pizzo commented on ODATA-771: ------------------------------------- Both the current Olingo client library and the .NET client library currently break if a decimal value is returned in exponential notation. Both could be relaxed in 4.1, but the fact that they would break reinforces the fact that this is would be a breaking change. Still, it would be nice to be able to return large values in exponential notation for clients prepared to accept them that way. Adding a way for the client to specify that they are prepared to handle such values would give a way for services to optimize. Options would be to add either a preference header (which would imply that it was not format specific) or a format parameter (for application/json, that could be used on other formats as appropriate). > Exponential notation for Edm.Decimal values in JSON payloads > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: ODATA-771 > URL: https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/ODATA-771 > Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: OData JSON Format > Affects Versions: V4.0_ERRATA02 > Environment: [Proposed] > Reporter: Ralf Handl > Fix For: V4.0_ERRATA03 > > > IEEE754 defines the DECFLOAT data type for high-precision decimal arithmetic. They have 16 or 34 decimal digit mantissas and exponents between -383 and +384 or -6143 and +6144. > The OData JSON Format represents Edm.Decimal values as JSON numbers, and JSON numbers allow exponential notation, so > "VeryLittle":1.4e-6143 > should be valid in JSON payloads. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2.2#6258)
