why json values converted to string in my code

Question

I have a few values that I want give from Json

what I received from server:

(as you can see values aren't string)

 "HP": {
  "BaseValue": 44.0, //float
   "Point": 3.0, //float
   "UpdateFactor": 1.5 //float
   }

After receiving jason from server

IEnumerator ReceiveJson()
{
    var postScoreURL = Url;
    var postHeader = new Dictionary<string, string>();
    postHeader.Add("Content-Type", "application/json");
    WWW request = new WWW(postScoreURL, null, postHeader);
    yield return request;
    if (request.error != null)
    {
    }
    else
    {
        Receive = JSONNode.Parse(request.text);
        Debug.Log(Receive);
    }
}

why I received string value? (but here I have string values!!!)

 "HP": {
  "BaseValue": "44.0", //string
   "Point": "3.0", //string
   "UpdateFactor": "1.5" //string
   }

@MarkC. yeah I used it but I it return 0 !!! I think because it's string it return it — s.m.m, Jan 23 '18 at 14:03
The point was to see if it would still be a string or not.. hence the words "try" and "test" — Mark C., Jan 23 '18 at 14:23
@MarkC. I try Receive["HP"]["BaseValue"].AsInt and return 0! — s.m.m, Jan 23 '18 at 15:00
Are you tied to this JSON parsing library or can you utilize Newtonsoft or another library? — Mark C., Jan 23 '18 at 15:03
I use the SimpleJson library, but tell me if you have a better library — s.m.m, Jan 23 '18 at 15:09
use https://app.quicktype.io to create a proper model class and then use Unity's JSONUtility to parse it — Umair M, Jan 23 '18 at 15:13

Your json is invalid. You can check your json at Jsonlint.

Your json needs to look like this:

{
    "HP": {
        "BaseValue": 44.0,
        "Point": 3.0,
        "UpdateFactor": 1.5
    }
}

what part of my jason is invalid? – s.m.m Jan 23 '18 at 14:01
That is simply not true. Floating point numbers are perfectly valid JSON. – nbokmans Jan 23 '18 at 14:02
Yes, floats are perfectly valid, but the JSON is still invalid (it needs to be surrounded with `{...}` – DavidG Jan 23 '18 at 14:03
Floats are perfectly valid, not sure from what spec you got that from. – Camilo Terevinto Jan 23 '18 at 14:04
Even the link you posted will validate floats successfully. – DavidG Jan 23 '18 at 14:05
OK. I'm wrong, sorry. I've edited my answer. Thanks for the down votes, I deserved them. – Palle Due Jan 23 '18 at 14:05
OK, now you have edited, can you say that the floats won't be enclosed inside quotes any more? – DavidG Jan 23 '18 at 14:11
