jo extends fractional part of some floats about jo HOT 2 CLOSED

That's the way numbers are emitted in the json.c functions we use

There's not much we can do to that other than introduce some special formatting option in jo, and I don't think we'll do that.

Interesting. Well, it's not a huge issue—I can use jo -- -s to treat it as a string and then jq tonumber to change it back a number. Just unexpected behavior that took me a while to find the root cause 😅

seq -f %.1f 0 .1 10 |
    xargs -I {} jo -- -s num={} |
    jq -c '.num = (.num | tonumber)' |
    tail -n 15

{"num":8.6}
{"num":8.7}
{"num":8.8}
{"num":8.9}
{"num":9.0}
{"num":9.1}
{"num":9.2}
{"num":9.3}
{"num":9.4}
{"num":9.5}
{"num":9.6}
{"num":9.7}
{"num":9.8}
{"num":9.9}
{"num":10.0}

from jo.
