Hi Maté, I was reviewing your Query Parameter RFC as I was also checking the new CSV extension RFC around Type Conversion and I see that currently at least the following behaviour around float will be changed. $data = [ 'a' => 0.000000000000034, 'b' => 1.0, 'c' => 1e-10, ]; echo http_build_query($data), PHP_EOL; // a=3.4E-14&b=1&c=1.0E-10 echo json_encode($data); // {"a":3.4e-14,"b":1,"c":1.0e-10} with the browsers implementations using URLSearchParams I get const q = new URLSearchParams({ 'a': 0.000000000000034, 'b': 1.0, 'c': 1e-10, }); console.log(q.toString()) // a=3.4e-14&b=1&c=1e-10 Maybe the conversion rules difference Uppercase/lowercase for scientific notation regarding floats should be expressed in the RFC to avoid surprises. Best regards, Ignace
