def decimal_encoder(dec_value: Decimal) -> Union[int, float]:
    """
    Encodes a Decimal as int if there's no exponent, otherwise float

    This is useful when we use ConstrainedDecimal to represent Numeric(x,0)
    where an integer (but not int typed) is used. Encoding this as a float
    results in failed round-tripping between encode and parse.
    Our Id type is a prime example of this.
