How to encode Decimal with Jason Library to float?

@benlime

Can you describe why using a floating point number in JSON is a bad idea? I am using Decimal internally to handle money values and want to return those to the frontend just for displaying in the view.

Ack!!!

Hey guyz We at @aviabird are working on a payment library in elixir/phoenix. We are targeting March 2018 to add 56 Gateways to it. Have a look at it in development here https://github.com/aviabird/gringotts. Thanks

Float.parse "9999999999999999"

iex(4)> Float.parse "9999999999999999" {1.0e16, ""} So if I want to get 9999999999999999, what should I do?

Among others!

Never ever ever ever ever use floats in relation to money, ever ever ever!

/me hopes they were clear enough ^.^;
