The data types that msgpack supports aren't quite the same as JSON -- msgpack has encodings for signed and unsigned 8, 16, 32, and 64-bit integers, as well as single- and double-precision floats. (This runs into trouble if you're dealing with JavaScript, which doesn't support the full 64-bit range of integers, but everybody else should be okay.)
