I noticed that the JavaScript library for JSON posted on json.org
(http://www.json.org/json.js) is modifying Object.prototyp e (adding a
method - toJSONString). I thought this was considered bad practice
because it can disrupt the use of for in loops on Objects.
Am I incorrect?
it did so for me too, so I switched to:
http://www.litfuel.net/mybic/
I currently only use JSON.parse & JSON.stringify, I
would use mybic server side if it supported iso-8859-1

I modified the one from json.org to use the same interface as the one
you have described (and as the Actionscript version):

Maybe it'll be useful for someone,
