JSON may not encode the very specific type the language that 
created it was using, but it does differ between strings and 
numbers. {"value":"1.2345678899999998901"} is different from 
{"value":1.2345678899999998901}, virtually any JSON 
implementation for any language(there might be exceptions - maybe 
TCL) will parse them to different language constructs, and code 
that expect one may fail, crash or misbehave when given the other.
