sealed abstract class BiggerDecimal extends Serializable
Represents a large decimal number.
Represents a large decimal number.
In theory BigDecimal
can represent a very large range of valid JSON numbers (in most cases if a JSON number string can fit in memory, it's possible to construct an exact BigDecimal
representation), but in practice this becomes intractable for many small JSON numbers (e.g. "1e2147483648" cannot be directly parsed as a BigDecimal
).
This type makes it possible to represent much, much larger numbers efficiently (although it doesn't support many operations on these values). It also makes it possible to distinguish between positive and negative zeros (unlike BigDecimal
), which may be useful in some applications.
