[Landsat-pds] Converting MTL.txt to JSON

[Charlie Loyd]

Hi all,

Hurray, JSON! Thanks, Jeff!

It’s just a detail, but should the numeric values be converted to numbers? For example, this line of JSON:

>            "REFLECTANCE_MULT_BAND_9": "2.0000E-05",

could be replaced by:

>             "REFLECTANCE_MULT_BAND_9": 2e-05,

This would mean one less conversion-and-check necessary on the end user’s side in order to use the value.

I won’t push on this – it’s a very small thing and it might add complexity in ways I’m not seeing. Just asking.
