Looks good to me, could you add some tests?

Thanks , will add some code for testing json strings --> floats & ints

The tests pass for me. I am not sure if I have covered all possibilities though

Thanks, I'll take a look soon

Any issues with the code ? I have been using it for a few projects here and so far its been fine

Looks good and useful to me, too.

Hope it'll get merged soon.

Sorry for the wait. I made added some tests and ran gofmt. I also added the equivalent changes to the zero package.

Wow, impressive, 👍

Oh, forgot to say,

maybe we should put json as well into github topics on the top of project page...

Thanks, good to know that the functionality is now part of the master repo.
The wait was well worth it as I know its important not to make breaking changes for others using the same library
