Yes, it's just buggy.

Giving it a value of an even 1.0 will make it throw the same 
exception (js["income"].type is JSONType.integer), but a value of 
1.1 will make it pass (.type properly becomes JSONType.float_).

I don't know of a solution other than to check js["income"].type 
beforehand and use .floating or .integer as befits, or simply use 
an alternative JSON library (asdf?).

File an issue if you have the time, maybe it will get attention. 
Unreported bugs can only be fixed by accident.
