Description
We have an issue with integer values served by our Rails API and consumed by EmberJS app. They are stored in the DB as bigint and they exceed the maximum numeric value in JavaScript.
Isn't it something that should be handled by this gem?

Research direction
The issue concerns integer serialization in the JSON gem for values stored as bigint and served through a Rails API to an EmberJS app. Start by reproducing a value beyond JavaScript's maximum numeric value and tracing how the JSON gem serializes it. Done means the API delivers such values safely to JavaScript consumers, with tests covering the behavior.
