BigDecimal as a parameter of REST API

such a simple question,

Can a BigDecimal field used as a parameter for a REST API in my WebObject?

As BigDecimal should be instantiated using constructor, will that happen if I send the parameter

{
    "input" : 5
}

Will this parameter instantiated to BigDecimal automatically?

It all depends as what API framework you using. With Spring Boot which uses Jackson API to deserialize, this will be converted correctly.

Directly using BigDecimal in front transfer object might not give you correct scaling & precision so I recommend to take String input and customize your BigDecimal creation as per need.
