Lossless Serialization of Decimals and Large Numbers in JSON

[helloanoop]

I have checked the following:

• I use the newest version of bruno.
• I've searched existing issues and found nothing related to my issue.

Describe the bug

There are a number of issues related to

• Not able to handle large numbers
• Decimal numbers being converted as strings
• Trailing zeroes get trimmed

We tried using json-bigint, but that didn't help.
We then tried using lossless-json, but that also failed at the axios layer with the below message

Error occurred in handler for 'send-http-request': TypeError: Do not know how to serialize a BigInt

Solution

Do not compromise the fidelity of the Json string (by doing JSON parse and stringify) before the network request is made
