ParserError on number with leading 0

I'm using "ruby 1.8.7 (2009-06-12 patchlevel 174) [universal-darwin10.0]" on OSX 10.6.8.

And thanks for this gem btw, it should make dealing with 100Mb json files much easier!

Ah, looks like rfc4627 prohibits leading zeros. I'll go back to the author of the json document!
