Please consider adding result.Float32() and others #243

Closed petric3 closed 2 years ago

petric3 commented 2 years ago

Would it be possible to add, without overhead, types like float32 (result.Float32()), int16/32, uint16/32/... and others? JSON files are many times huge, on the other hand real world examples are within 2^31 values. Since in such cases memory matters, it may be reasonable to add them. Thanks for consideration..

Hi petric3,

This has been discussed in other issues the past, and something that I'm considering, though I haven't decided on a clear path forward.

In the meantime this should work: x := float32(result.Float())
