Allow encoding and decoding of json.Number values, either as struct members or as interface members.

Numbers will be encoded as integer, if possible, otherwise float64 is used. The zero value json.Number will be encoded as 0.

It is possible to encode as string with //msgp:replace json.Number with:string.

Fixes #292

Review notes

I think the only contentious part is that it refuses to encode invalid values, which seems reasonable to me, so the output will either be float or integer or an empty string.

Empty string or null, for a "zero value" (not 0)? A bit undecided on this. Open to changes.

Allow encoding and decoding of `json.Number` values, either as struct members or as interface members.

Numbers will be encoded as integer, if possible, otherwise float64 is used. To cover the zero values, write an empty string, but invalid values will return errors when encoded

It is possible to encode as string with `//msgp:replace json.Number with:string`.

Fixes tinylib#292

The behavior of encoding/json with json.Number is to use zero as the zero value, so that's probably the best option.

Good point. Also makes the output more reliable and guaranteed to be a number type.

Amended, and now will also optionally use float32 as per #365
