documentation: leading 0s

[pkoppstein]

jq and gojq handle leading 0s differently. Has this been documented?

$ gojq  . <<< 0862
0
862

$ jq  . <<< 0862
jq  . <<< 0862
862
$

This is definitely worth noting because gojq is somewhat inconsistent in its treatment of leading 0s:

$ gojq -n 0862
862

This is considered as the instance of difference on the JSON parser strictness. I don't like the jq behavior handles invalid JSONs.

OK, but I don't see anything about this in the "Difference to jq" section.

Also, is gojq's internal inconsistency noted? Or should that be the subject of a bug report?

There is no inconsistency because jq query and JSON have different syntax.
