That is not accurate. In JSON-LD, `12` will still render as `12`.

But it is true that `12.1` will render as `1.21E1` (as in your example), and that is indeed an issue.

I believe that xsd:decimal is superior to xsd:double in many respects (see [this paper](https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-031-06981-9_10) ([pdf](https://2022.eswc-conferences.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/paper_98_Keil_et_al.pdf)) for a detailed analysis), so I am in favour of option 2.
