The correct format specifier is ACTUALLY "%.18g", assuming that you want full
lossless conversion. This is because:

1) JSON_TYPE.FLOAT is a 64-bit double, not 32-bit float!

2) cast(int)ceil(log(pow(2.0L, F.mant_dig - 1)) / log(10.0L) + 1) decimal
digits are needed to represent some floating-point values, such as (1 +
F.epsilon).
