cytoscape js and Long id

[victor...@gmail.com]

JS doesn't support Long numbers and I have id's which are Long from an Oracle DB. I'll try to change it to not be Long but in the case where I can't, what did others do?

1) There are some Long js implementations which I can use such as BigNumber.js. I can use it in my code, but I think when I do a cy.add then it will be converted to a 53bits and I'll lose precision? This will be an issue when I view the properties of a vertex as the id will not be correct. This will also be an issue since it is truncated there maybe collision and vertex and edges will be incorrect.

2) I can convert it to a string when I get the data. I don't want there to be confusion so when I display the id or use it for searching I'll need to convert it back to a Long. Seems like a lot of hacks everywhere.
