It totally depends on the library. As Adam says, 0.0 and 0 are generally 
interchangeable, but reality says they are sometimes not (I have had my 
share of issues with vibe.d Json treating 1.0 as Json.Type.float_ and 1 
as Json.Type.int_, where it doesn't allow you to get the int version as 
a float).

It would help to have a better understanding of why you need the .0 to 
appear.
