Comment (by rnistuk@…):

 Here's my fix for numbers:

 {{{
 #include <string>
 #include <boost/regex.hpp>

   std::string fix_json_numbers(const std::string &json_str)
     {
         boost::regex re("\\\"([0-9]+\\.{0,1}[0-9]*)\\\"");
         return  boost::regex_replace(json_str, re, "$1");
     }
 }}}

 And here's a unit test:

 {{{
 BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(test_fix_json_str)
     {
         std::string json_str_in
 ="{\"cmd\":\"test\",\"data\":{\"integer\":\"283\",\"float\":\"34.433\"}";
         std::string json_str_accepted
 ="{\"cmd\":\"test\",\"data\":{\"integer\":283,\"float\":34.433}";
         std::string json_str_actual = fix_json_numbers(json_str_in);
         BOOST_CHECK_EQUAL(json_str_accepted, json_str_actual);
     }
 }}}

 NOTE: I've modified the unit test a bit to call the fix_json_numbers
 function directly, I have not compiled the unit test.
