JSON UpdateNumber vs UpdateInt

Demonstrates UpdateNumber vs UpdateString. Chilkat2-Python

import chilkat2

json = chilkat2.JsonObject()

# If a number is too large for a 32-bit signed integer, then call UpdateNumber instead of UpdateInt.
# The large integer is passed to UpdateNumber as a string, but in the JSON it will be an integer.

# For example:
json.UpdateNumber("largeNumber","6884556842")

# If the integer is small enough for a 32-bit signed integer, then use UpdateInt:
json.UpdateInt("reasonableInt",123456)

json.EmitCompact = False
print(json.Emit())

# The output:
# Notice the large number passed as a string does not have quotes in the JSON

# {
#   "largeNumber": 6884556842,
#   "reasonableInt": 123456
# }
