+An integer number cannot be represented by the binary format it is serialized to:

+- [BON8](../features/binary_formats/bon8.md) only stores integers that fit into int64, so
+  [`to_bon8`](../api/basic_json/to_bon8.md) throws for unsigned integers greater than 9223372036854775807.
+- [CBOR](../features/binary_formats/cbor.md), [MessagePack](../features/binary_formats/messagepack.md), and
+  [BSON](../features/binary_formats/bson.md) store integers in at most 64 bits. With the default number types, every
+  integer fits, but a [`number_integer_t`](../api/basic_json/number_integer_t.md) or
+  [`number_unsigned_t`](../api/basic_json/number_unsigned_t.md) wider than 64 bits (e.g., `__int128`) can hold values
+  outside the range of the format: [-2^64, 2^64-1] for CBOR, [-2^63, 2^64-1] for MessagePack, and the range of int64
+  (signed integers) or uint64 (unsigned integers) for BSON.
+
+[UBJSON](../features/binary_formats/ubjson.md) and [BJData](../features/binary_formats/bjdata.md) never throw this
+exception, because they serialize integers beyond 64 bits as high-precision numbers.
