Convert decimal to float with ijson.items

Question

I am reading a big array of JSONS from a file with ijson.items , but numbers are converted to type Decimal.

Example Decimal('14.2')

The documentation says that there is an option use-float = true. But I don't know where to put this option.

Is it possible to use ijson.itemsand obtain floats?

ijson.items(file, 'your.prefix', use_float=True)

It does not work: `TypeError: items() missing 1 required positional argument: 'prefix'` – Juan Oct 06 '20 at 13:49
Updated, I don't know what prefix you use there, an empty string for the root – GProst Oct 06 '20 at 14:57
