Limitations and assumptions

  • Parsing rules depend on locale, radix, encoding, escaping, duplicate fields, whitespace, overflow, rounding, time zone, units, and ambiguity policy. Successful parsing does not validate business meaning or make untrusted input safe.
  • Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.

Alternative or Complementary approaches

Reject trailing or ambiguous content, preserve the original input, schema-validate the parsed value, and test malformed, boundary, and adversarial cases.
