It seems also IE8 beta 2 has JSON natively.
Scripting Engine
Many enhancements have been done to the scripting engine. One feature
that will bring a lot of value to the AJAX developers is the
introduction of native JavaScript Object Notation (JSON). With JSON
becoming the de-facto data interchange language for contemporary web
applications; we have included native JSON support within the JScript
engine. With this, developers can use a native JSON object to
serialize and de-serialize JScript objects. This feature makes
Internet Explorer 8 the first browser to support JSON natively!
We'll have to test how efficient they are compared to our, but I guess
nothing would really change for whoever's going to use JSON from
MooTools (except for fastness, if it really is as fast as they say).
However, it's something we'll discuss on those browser's release
because, as Jan already said ealrier, we don't support betas/rcs.
Good to know, though, and thanks for pointing this out eduacostam.
Really appreciated.

We will look into this. I didnt dig into the new JSON object yet,
but i'm trying to make the mootools implementation compatible with
the new introduced native and probably making use of the (said to be
faster) native implementation. We normally dont support betas or
even earlier versions, but i'm sure the JSON native object will make
it into the next release.
Thanks for the report and digging into this.

ths important stuff is:
JS 1.9.1
- New global JSON object, will follow up to match ES 3.1 spec.

Native_JSON_Testplan
Now i've tested mootools without JSON and it works well, so I think
the problem is that firefox added a JSON object and when mootools
declares it's own it brakes everything.
This is a serious problem if Firefox 3.1 is going to have this.
Devs what do you think?

Im afraid:
redeclaration of const JSON
Might be the issue here... if thats the problem... has JSON become a
reserved word in nightly firefox???
Personally I wouldnt bother too much with that, since nightly builds
are just like that... prone to errors here and there...
Maybe on tomorrow's nightbuild it will be gone... :-P
