I thought it was already used to send data "over the wire" to the
client and then is parsed into XML on the client side?

will this also have an effect to the way data is send to the Client?

Will be a part of the forthcoming ECMAScript 5 standard. I suspect
it will
be available in early forms in many of the browsers. I thought you
were
already using it in the LFC, so maybe we should export it at the
API so it
is generally available for LZX? It looks like Lorien (cc-ed) might
be able
to use it.
I believe the main bits are:
JSON.stringify which takes an Object and produces a string, and
JSON.parse
which takes a string and produces an Object (similar to the one
that was
stringified).
The built-in data types each have a method .toJSON that can be
overridden,
and stringify and parse each take an optional filter function that
can be
used to restrict or extend the encoding.
There is probably an open source implementation of the proposed
standard
that we could grab for runtimes that do not yet have it built in.
