JObject.Parse modifies end of floating point values

by

@Ilija Dimov is correct–JSON.NET parses JSON floats as doubles by default. If you still want to use JObject instead of creating a full blown POCO for deserialization, you can use a JsonTextReader and set the FloatParseHandling option:

var reader = new JsonTextReader(new StringReader(clientString));
reader.FloatParseHandling = FloatParseHandling.Decimal;

JObject obj = JObject.Load(reader);

Console.WriteLine(obj["max"].Value<decimal>()); // 1214.704958677686
