I am not sure I have ever asked for bit-for-bit identical JSON representation. I have always only mentioned `decimal.Decimal` and the lack of proper way to encode it (while having the proper way of decoding it), and if you read the subject of the OP it is asking for "raw output" (in the encoder, nothing about underlying representation) which if I understand your two options basically corresponds to the second one and is probably addressed elsewhere far more thoroughly. If my understanding is right, I would be also very much in favor of this approach. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/ZX5EUWO7HD6IMT7W5GSH3ACOG2VGFBHF/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
