Here's the source code in Request.JSON:
success: function(text){
var secure = this.options.secure;
var json = this.response.json = Function.attempt(function(){
return JSON.decode(text, secure);
});
if (json == null) this.onFailure();
else this.onSuccess(json, text);
}
It is calling JSON.decode on the response for you. If you don't return
valid JSON, it won't call onSuccess, but instead consider it a failure
