Support for Decimal

[gaborbernat]

I've read in the documentation there's plan to support this. What status are these plans in? Thanks.

Can you clarify what you're looking for? The library currently parses floats just fine.

[gaborbernat]

Ability to parse floats as decimal and encode decimals within json objects.

The usefulness of this feature is blocked by upstream issues, such as simdjson/simdjson#425 (comment). Without support for a new tape type to indicate, say, number-as-string, allowing decimals would cause silent overflows or precision truncating.

It will be supported, as soon as it can be.
