I set up a system that parses a compact data string into JSON. I\'m using a 19 digit number to store ids. Unfortunately any number greater than 17 digits, parseFloat()
Numbers in JavaScript lose precision if they are higher than a certain value.
According to http://www.hunlock.com/blogs/The_Complete_Javascript_Number_Reference, integers are only reliable up to 15 digits (9 * 10^15 to be exact).
