Question

I am trying to put a long value(milliseconds) in JSONArray like this :

         long epoc = 1359231233L;
         long milli = epoc*1000;
         System.out.println(milli);
         JSONArray arr = new JSONArray();
         arr.put((Long)epoc*1000);
         System.out.println(arr.toString());

The output is :

1359231233000
[1.359231233e12]

I don’t want the exponent value in array , how can i get it to display the actual long value ?

I don’t want the exponent value in array , how can i get it to display the actual long value ?

The form you’re seeing isn’t in the array. It’s being created by toString. The value actually in the array is a Long, not a string.

If you want to get the string form of that number without using exponent notation, I expect you’ll have to write your own long-to-string routine (or find one, perhaps in Apache commons or similar).

Note that the exponent form is perfectly acceptable JSON.
