Convert numerical value to string in Freemarker

I am trying to write a freemarker template in which one field value is passed as numeric but I want to print it as a string. Currently I am fetching values from a JSON.

Freemarker is formatting that number which is not required in my case. E.g. if I am passing a number as shipmentId: 23452742 freemarker is converting it into 23,452,742

${shipment.shipmentId}

How to convert a numeric value to string or stop freemarker formatting for one particular field? Any help would be appreciated.

The above suggestion didn't worked for me. It may be due to some freemarker version issue. I tried :

<#setting number_format="0" />
   ${(shipment.shipmentId)}  
<#setting number_format="" />

to stop formatting for a specific block.

Thanks for the help folks.

You can use the ?c builtin:

${shipment.shipmentId?c}

This built-in converts a number to string.
