Weird format returned from the API #41

Getting the following points with the query API for a metrics query.

[[1460670060000,{"s":1,"e":0,"c":[8,6,6,6,6,6,6,9,8,4,5,5,8,1,0,5,5]}]]

Is this related to this lib?

brettlangdon commented 8 years ago

@chenliu0831 Yes it is. The problem is that this package has to use json-bigint to parse the json responses from Datadog. The reason is that some of the integer values from datadog have become large than the largest number supported by JSON, so the numbers would overflow and become negative values. For example, this was first an issue with event ids.

For reference the number format is from bignumber.js

Please let me know if I can be of any other assistance.
