I have added this note, thanks! In the blog I am mostly trying to show the behavior you get using the (maybe defacto) stdlib with its default configuration, but this is useful data to call out.

If you're going to extend Go the courtesy of customizing the parser, oughtn't you do the same for Python (and all the languages)?

To wit, Python's json module has `parse_float` and `parse_int` hooks:

https://docs.python.org/3/library/json.html#encoders-and-dec...

Example:

  >>> json.loads('{"int":12345,"float":123.45}', parse_int=str, parse_float=str)
  {'int': '12345', 'float': '123.45'}

FWIW, when I've cared about interop and controlled the schema, I've specified JSON strings for numbers, along with the range, precision, and representation. This is no worse (nor better) than using RFC 3339 for dates.

I'm just a JS guy trying to understand the world around me and documenting what I find, not trying to be discourteous (or even courteous). I'll add the note about Python, thanks for calling it out. FWIW JS does not have a similar capability so I can't add a note there.
