Hmm, I'm clearly doing something wrong because I can't get it to properly 
save doubles/reals..

void main() {

  struct A
  {
   char[] sval = "test";
   bool bval = true;
   int ival = 3;
   double dval = 4f/3;
   real rval = 8f/3;
  }

  A a;

  auto x = jsonO();
  //x.add("key1",a.sval);
  //x.add("key2",a.bval);
  x.add("key3",a.ival);
  x.add("key4",jsonV(a.dval));
  x.add("key5",jsonV(a.rval));

  auto encoded = x.encode();

  std.file.write("test.dat",encoded);

  ubyte[] file = cast(ubyte[])std.file.read("test.dat");

  auto decoded = jsonDecode(file);

  //writefln(decoded.getN("key1"));
  //writefln(decoded.getN("key2"));
  writefln(decoded.getN("key3"));
  writefln(decoded.getN("key4"));
  writefln(decoded.getN("key5"));

}

This writes to file: {"key3":3,"key4":1,"key5":2}
So the double & real seem to be converted to int.

What am I doing wrong?
