      What problem are you facing?

      Large doubles that stringify with an exponential component will be suffixed with a trailing ".0". This will successfully roundtrip in JavaScript, because parseFloat begins ignoring a string once it encounters an invalid character. Other languages like Java will throw an exception for the incorrect formatting.

      const d = new BSON.Double(Number.MAX_VALUE);
      d.toExtendedJSON()
      // { '$numberDouble': '1.7976931348623157e+308.0' }
      

      What driver and relevant dependency versions are you using?

      Introduced in BSON v4.7.1

      Steps to reproduce?

      Launch jshell

      jshell> Double.valueOf("1.7976931348623157e+308.0")
      |  Exception java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "1.7976931348623157e+308.0"
