Hm, this probably makes more sense as a fork than part of mainline json11. Adding a dependency on boost isn't an option for many users.
I agree with @j4cbo. I think there's an interesting discussion to be had about possible features to preserve accuracy of decimals (beyond what a double provides), and the trade-offs of complexity vs. correctness. However, doing so by adding a boost dependency, and apparently turning on exceptions and RTTI if the CMake file is to be believed, would put a burden on many potential users of the library (including Dropbox, which doesn't currently link Boost in our mobile apps), so I think it would be better served as a fork. Simplicity in implementation and dependencies is one of the goals of this library (as per the opening sentence of the readme: "json11 is a tiny JSON library for C++11").
The license does allow for forks and modifications, though, so have at it. I'm glad you're finding json11 useful, and thanks for contributing.
this pull request add decimal floating point support.
without decimal support, 0.1 is not 0.1 as it looks. people from non-C world tend to use decimal directly in their json exchange data, if we don't support decimal, then we lose precision.
