Description

Pandas version checks

  • I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.

Reproducible Example

import io
import json
import pandas as pd
d = [{"col1": 1, "col2": 1.0}, {"col1": 2, "col2": 2.0}]
df = pd.read_json(io.StringIO(json.dumps(d)))
assert df["col1"].dtype == df["col2"].dtype

Issue Description

Although the explicit JSON values are of float type, the corresponding column dtype is of int dtype.

Expected Behavior

If the JSON contains float values, we would expect the corresponding column dtype is float as well.

At least, we should be able to avoid this casting if needed.
