Start in modules/swagger-parser-v3/src/main/java/io/swagger/v3/parser/ObjectMapperFactory.java at the referenced Jackson mapper configuration. Reproduce the issue by reading an OpenAPI file containing a float in an example or vendor extension, then verify that the value's precision is preserved in Java. Done means float values no longer lose precision when parsed.
