Hi Hackers,

Attached is the patch to fix incorrect rendering of bigint in jsonb. 

The problem is in javascript limitations with big numbers. For fixing, jsonb data will be fetched as string now, similar to json, so that JS will not consider big numbers as number. The only drawback here is that, the popup editor will not show formatted json, as that requires JSON.parse which will change the big numbers.

Kindly review.

Below is sample data for testing:

CREATE TABLE public.tab_jsonbigint

(

    id integer NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,

    coljsonb jsonb

)

insert into tab_jsonbigint(id, coljsonb) values(3,'[{"a": 83136002445762248}, {"a": 831360024457622448}]');

select d.*, t.coljsonb from tab_jsonbigint t, jsonb_to_recordset(t.coljsonb) as d("a" bigint);

Hmm, that's unfortunate.

What about using json-bignumber?
