floating point numbers about gabs HOT 1 CLOSED

Hey @korpa,

I'm on a laptop where I can't test so take this with a pinch of salt, but I believe it can be done like this (not particularly simple I know):

    var result map[string]interface{}

    d := json.NewDecoder(strings.NewReader(`{"data":"test"}`))
    d.UseNumber()
    if err := d.Decode(&result); err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    g, err := gabs.Consume(result)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    fmt.Printf("JSON Data: %v\n", g.Path("data"))

I have thought about this in the past and concluded that I'd rather see gabs used to consume converted maps where the non default json decoding is needed rather than duplicate the API for NewDecoder within gabs.

This particular case (where we want to prevent floating numbers) is a very common problem, however, so if lots of people are having to write the above where they otherwise wouldn't I'd be happy to add something in.

from gabs.
