?To be clear: JSON uses a subset of the JavaScript syntax to represent
structured data, so it's not necessarily true to say JSON is a feature of
the language.
As for timelines, Crockford has been very clear in saying that some form of
JSON had been in use long before he formalized it. His site, json.org, was
launched in 2002 and he stated his company used it in 2001 [1].

couldn't possibly know what I'm talking about.
Can anybody prove JSON existed in 2004, or previously?

I have personally used Javascript Object notation before 2001 to pull
server data, though the transport was a hidden FRAME containing a JS
object (instead of an XMLHttpRequest).
Javascript Object notation has always been a feature of the language
since it's inception.
