Sitecore and Json serialization - weird conversion

I have an issues as follows:

On my local, Azure, + 3 other servers my mapping code looks at latitude and longitude coordinates that are stored in a Sitecore item.

On my new QA and PROD Sitecore servers, that I have not used before as they are sitting on a new hosting provider, I have the following issue:

If you look at the picture below: enter image description here

The coordinates are stored correctly but the final output when serialized ot Json is like this: enter image description here

Anyone got any ideas why the decimal point would have been stripped out?

as I said, the code works on many different environments so I am thinking the new hosting provider has set something that is different to my other working environments.

I will keep investigating but thought I would put this out there.

Solution

  • The answer was this:

    Change this:

    <globalization requestEncoding="utf-8" responseEncoding="utf-8" />

    to this:

    <globalization requestEncoding="utf-8" responseEncoding="utf-8" culture="en-AU" uiculture="en" />
