> ISSUE:
> ----------
> JS numbers are 64-bit values and thus only have 16 digits of precision; this isn't enough to represent the max value of a Long, BigInteger, or BigDecimal. This means that when we convert a number string to object then back to string on the client, we can lose precision, even though we wouldn't lose any precision on the server.
> FIX:
> -----
> Only render a client converter if the input value is bound to a supported type (Float, Double, Integer, Short, Byte). The JavaScript number is a 64-bit floating type and has enough precision to represent any of these supported types.
