org.json.JSONObject messing with data

Question

I got a different type of numbers in my json string. So parsing this numbers with JSONObject leads to 3.7E-4-like representation of this numbers. I prefer to see numbers as a string. What to do? How to prevent such conversion?

{"data":
    {"number1":0.0004,
     "number2":0.00038,
     "number3":0.00037
}}

What does the JSON look like? If the JSON (before parsing) contains `"key":"0.00037"` then that's a string. If it contains `"key":0.00037` then that's a number, and what you're getting is correct. — Hot Licks, Jan 27 '14 at 13:23
Yep, those are numbers -- will come through as Number objects after parsing. You can, of course, format them differently with an appropriate formatting operation. — Hot Licks, Jan 27 '14 at 13:34

Simply, create a string before putting your number to JSON.

or

int number = 0;
json.put(number + "");

Can you give an example number, not represented like above?

I think it is some limitation of this particular json library. As a workaround, you could convert parsed values to BigDecimal and use it, unless the double conversion does not lose precision significantly.
