------------------------------------

Chris, 

I use Ruby for all my views and it should work fine too :-) 

irb(main):001:0> require 'json'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> JSON.parse(JSON.generate([2**256]))

> CouchDB uses spidermonkey which can only handle 32 bit integer values before overflowing. This might surprise users of map/reduce on large datasets.
> Instead, alter mochijson2.erl to handle bignums and encode numeric values as strings.
