 #### Long integers
-Long integers (64-bit) are supported using the [long](https://github.com/dcodeIO/long.js) module.
+By default the library will handle automatically [BigInt](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/BigInt) from Node.js v10.3 and above.  
+If you can't use BigInts in your environment, long integers (64-bit) are also supported using the [long](https://github.com/dcodeIO/long.js) module.
 Example:
 ```javascript
+// => using native BigInt
+const stringify = fastJson({
+  title: 'Example Schema',
+  type: 'object',
+  properties: {
+    id: {
+      type: 'integer'
+    }
+  }
+})
+
+const obj = {
+  id: 18446744073709551615n
+}
+
+console.log(stringify(obj)) // '{"id":18446744073709551615}'
+
+// => using the long library
 const Long = require('long')
