Thanks Boris!
I'll see what to do.
Best regards,

You can easily ditch it by supplying another parser for numbers.  For this end, you have three options: A) wait for someone to develop a replacement—without guarantees; B) write a replacement yourself, send a patch to the maintainers, and wait for it to be pushed to the repository; C) customize DECODE-JSON in your own code, by setting or binding the handlers for number token.  If you choose option C, I'd suggest you read the relevant chapter in the User Guide (http://common-lisp.net/project/cl-json/#DECODER-CUSTOMIZATION).  The handlers in question are represented by the variables *INTEGER-HANDLER* and *REAL-HANDLER*.
