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

    This is useful when we use ConstrainedDecimal to represent Numeric(x,0)
    where a 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.
