This object provides a simple interface to the JSON parser class. The default conversion for numerics is into a double. If you wish to override this behavior at the global level, you can set the globalNumberParser property to your own (String => Any) function. If you only want to override at the per-thread level then you can set the perThreadNumberParser property to your function. For example:

 val myConversionFunc = {input : String => BigDecimal(input)}
 
 // Global override
 JSON.globalNumberParser = myConversionFunc
 
 // Per-thread override
 JSON.perThreadNumberParser = myConversionFunc
