This means under normal circumstances,
decimal.Decimal
would be used across the board:"value": 3.14
in the API response is parsed asDecimal("3.14")
Decimal("3.14")
value is serialized to JSON asvalue: 3.14
in the tap output"value": 3.14
in theRECORD
Singer message will be parsed asDecimal("3.14")
by the target.That should ensure we preserve precision through the pipeline.
Caution
Now, this could be a breaking change if folks are doing floating-point math with these values, but I think it's rare enough that we can make do with a call-out in the release notes.
