+ <h4>Conversion of native data types</h4>
+
+ <p>In JSON-LD numbers and boolean values are native data types. While Turtle
+ has a shorthand syntax to express such values, RDF's abstract syntax requires
+ that numbers and boolean values are represented as typed literals. Thus,
+ to allow full round-tripping, the JSON-LD Processing Algorithms and API specification [[JSON-LD-API]]
+ defines conversion rules between JSON-LD's native data types and RDF's
+ counterparts. <tref title="number">Numbers</tref> without fractions are
+ converted to <code>xsd:integer</code>-typed literals, numbers with fractions
+ to <code>xsd:double</code>-typed literals and the two boolean values
+ <tref>true</tref> and <tref>false</tref> to a <code>xsd:boolean</code>-typed
+ literal. All typed literals are in canonical lexical form.</p>

<h4>Lists</h4>
<p>Both JSON-LD and Turtle can represent sequential lists of values.</p>
