How to know the parsed digits is an integer?

[J-F-Liu]

i.e. there is no '.' or 'e' in the literal.

Why, what's the use case? You don't, this information is not exported by the parser as it's not very useful.

If you write, say, a CSV or JSON parser, you may want to be able to know about the data type. E.g., in some systems "1.0" and "1" are to be treated differently. It is a niche use case, one where you need to determine the type dynamically, but it is not unreasonnable. Note that you would like the integer value (if it is an integer value) to be returned as an integer type so that you parse integers that would not fit in a floating-point type.

Closing this for now as it's outside of this crate's functionality.

(As a workaround for your use case - you could always check if there's a ., e or E in the source byte string, it should be very fast compared to the time spent actually parsing the float)

It seems likely that one could build a derived crate which implements this functionality.
