    // If a number is too large for a 32-bit signed integer, then call UpdateNumber instead of UpdateInt.
    // The large integer is passed to UpdateNumber as a string, but in the JSON it will be an integer.

    // For example:
    json.UpdateNumber("largeNumber","6884556842");

    // If the integer is small enough for a 32-bit signed integer, then use UpdateInt:
    json.UpdateInt("reasonableInt",123456);

    json.put_EmitCompact(false);
    System.out.println(json.emit());

    // The output:
    // Notice the large number passed as a string does not have quotes in the JSON

    // {
    //   "largeNumber": 6884556842,
    //   "reasonableInt": 123456
    // }
