Description
When json data contains large numbers (eg: 413000000000000166743) as values in a key:value pair, they get truncated when returned by $.getJSON. This appears to be an intrinsic javascript problem for very large numbers. If I could stipulate in the function call that all data should be treated as text, then that should dodge the problem. And if I need a value to be a number, then javascript internal type-casting or the Number() function should be enough. For what it's worth, I encountered this when working with Zoho Creator ID values.

This is a limitation of javascript, not jQuery. You can validly store numbers as strings, and convert them later.
Note: See

To treat it as text would mean it would be invalidly formatted JSON.
What do native JSON parsers do with big numbers?
