numberValue

Numbervalue is a term used in computing to denote a numeric value in data structures, APIs, and programming languages. It is not a formal type in standard language specifications; rather, it serves as a descriptive label for values that are numbers, including integers and floating-point numbers.

Naming variations exist, including NumberValue, numberValue, or Numbervalue, depending on the language’s capitalization conventions. In statically typed languages, a developer might declare NumberValue as a type alias for a numeric primitive; in dynamically typed languages, it can appear as a property name or variable intended to store a numeric value.

Usage patterns include data validation, data interchange, and API schema design. In JSON schemas a numeric field might be described as type: number and labeled in code as NumberValue. In financial software, a dedicated numeric type such as decimal or BigDecimal may be used to preserve precision, while Numbervalue serves as a general label for the data payload.

Because Numbervalue is not a standardized term, its exact meaning depends on context, project conventions, and the programming language in use. See also numeric value, numeric type, decimal, and numeric data models.
