Description
## About
How to marshal values of Python's [Decimal](https://docs.python.org/3/library/decimal.html) type.
## Status quo
Currently, the library is conveying Decimal values as strings.

## See also
Others apparently need serialization to float.
```python
if isinstance(obj, Decimal):
return float(obj)
```
