That too is one of the many things that has bothered me. At work we actually use a wrapper function which will try to make use of any one of the existing json libraries on json.org, or native JSON if available, basically if it can find a JSON parser loaded into the page it'll try to use it instead of eval.
I was hoping to get an actual website up and clearly explain 4query's purpose before I mentioned it. But I should note that I actually patched support for that kind of thing downstream: http://github.com/dantman/4query/commit/bb5ea3b4b128f851871b433d826f3c76f7644086 Oh, though now that I think about it, I should probably patch in a try/catch as well since one or two of the libs throw syntax errors as a singal when JSON is malformed. I'm also considering whether I should rename the method or not. try/catch is in http://github.com/dantman/4query/commit/f8e62c0c2f0c2e19d5294c67ce2df6052fa2d6a9 Same license as jQuery so if jQuery wants any 4query improvements it's fine to incorporate. Just a small note on why I used $.json instead of $.support; $.support is checked fairly early on, but like at work I wanted full support for however the json libraries are loaded. If $.support was used then various methods of deferring the library load might end up with the library not being used. I don't know how late .support is run, but depending on when it's run; a <script> included after the framework might not work, deferring the json library by putting it at the bottom of the body might not work. At the very least loading a json library in the .ready event or after is unlikely to be caught by $.support (In case you wanted to completely defer json library loading till you knew you actually needed to parse some json). ~Daniel Friesen (Dantman, Nadir-Seen-Fire) [http://nadir-seen-fire.com] -Nadir-Point (http://nadir-point.com) -Wiki-Tools (http://wiki-tools.com) -MonkeyScript (http://monkeyscript.nadir-point.com) -Animepedia (http://anime.wikia.com) -Narutopedia (http://naruto.wikia.com) -Soul Eater Wiki (http://souleater.wikia.com) ajpiano wrote: > With the advent of native JSON support in browsers forthcoming, should > jQuery.support check for the existence of the JSON obj and use it as > the preferred way of parsing JSON whenever the library needs to do > so?
