Floating point values should be treated as strings to ensure values such as 1.0 are not converted to 1. Such conversion invalidates the signature generated for the credit request. Additionally, JSON has no concept of a floating point datatype. ECOM-2172
Open edX -------- This is the root package for Open edX. The intent is that all importable code from Open edX will eventually live here, including the code in the lms, cms, and common directories. Note: for now the code is not structured like this, and hence legacy code will continue to live in a number of different packages. All new code should be created in this package, and the legacy code will be moved here gradually.
