Well what should it be if it's not 12.4? If you think it should 
be 2.24 you are wrong. In JSON there are no additions or 
subtractions. It is only static data. It is just a format. And 
although JSON stands for JavaScriptObjectNotation it isn't JS. 
Even if {"key":1.24 + 1} is valid JS it is not valid JSON.
