Better documentations about deprecated parameters

[manuelep]

Hi!
Could you please provide in new release documentation what's the alternative of previous supported and now deprecated features like passing double_precision parameter?

Thanks a lot

Hi! The double_precision option was removed in eb7d894. Here's the commit message:

To fix issues with floating-point precision we've made use of Google's
double-conversion lib to handle conversions of doubles to and from strings.

In addition to fixing our precision problems this will improve double
encoding by 4-5x. Decoding is however slightly slower according to the
benchmarks - but accurate at least.

This change removes the double_precision encoding option and the
precise_float decoding option.

This is linked to from the release notes at https://github.com/ultrajson/ultrajson/releases/tag/2.0.0. In this case, there is no alternative, remove the option from your calls.

Thanks @hugovk for your quick replay!
What do you mean saing that there's no alternative? Is actually no more possile to control the floating point numbers precision while they are encoded or the way I can obtain the same result I got with that option is complete different? In that last case is there some example on how can I get it?

Thanks a lot
Cheers

Please check the commit for more info, but yeah, looks like Google's library is used for all conversions of doubles to and from strings.

You have to excuse me, I'm not a C programmer and on the first attempt I saw toow mutch C code :-P

So now, if I well understood, before encoding my object I have to convert my self all nested float values to a decimal object of the desidered precision... right?

Thanks again.
Cheers
