Yup - for CF types. And that's not even remotely a bad thing. CFAjax works wonderfully in the same scenario as well. If you can control both the client and the server any number of solutions will work great. It's when you want a client-side application to accept data from a CFC, a ..NET service, a PERL service and a Java service that things start to get ridiculous. JSON works across implementations (Java, PERL, Python, JavaScript, CF, etc) because its implementation is so very, very simple. But it lacks all support for non-native JS objects and doesn't actually support many native objects (like Dates). We're down to the point where if you want something cross platform you're stuck with non-trivial task of writing it yourself or accepting severe compromises... and this far into the game it seems ridiculous that this should be the case.
