Description

Julia Version: 1.7.2.

I see that Real is supposed to be StructTypes.NumberType(), but it can't actually deserialize:

julia> JSON3.read("456", Real)
ERROR: ArgumentError: invalid JSON at byte position 1 while parsing type Real: ExpectedOpeningObjectChar
456
julia> JSON3.read("456", Union{Integer, AbstractFloat})
456.0

Research direction

Reproduce the issue with JSON3.read("456", Real) and compare it with JSON3.read("456", Union{Integer, AbstractFloat}); the report identifies StructTypes.NumberType() as the relevant type description. Trace how Real is handled during deserialization and verify that the reported Real input succeeds without the ExpectedOpeningObjectChar error.
