Hello,

STON is able to serialise Pharo���s Floats, what do you mean by double ?

Additionally, I recently asked Sven if t would be possible to store ScaledDecimals (I think it implements what you call ArbitraryPrecisionFloats) without loss of precision.

Before, because STON extends JSON, it was storing all kind of numbers either as float or integer.

Now, thanks to Sven, STON stores ScaledDecimals correctly (without loss of precision through serialisation as float, what was done before).

But I do not know if this change is integrated in recent images yet.

Cheers,

Julien

Can STON be extended to handle Doubles and ArbitraryPrecisionFloats?

This is very clear and well written.

Hi,

Since there can never be enough documentation I finally took some time
to write a more formal description of STON as a data format.

 https://github.com/svenvc/ston/blob/master/ston-spec.md

The idea is to let this stabilise a bit and to then update the two
other documents describing STON, where necessary:

 https://github.com/svenvc/ston/blob/master/ston-paper.md

https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/EnterprisePharoBook/lastSuc
cessfulBuild/artifact/book-result/STON/STON.html

Also, the latest changes in STON have to make their way to the Pharo
image as well.

 https://github.com/svenvc/ston

All feedback is welcome.

Sven
