Actually you're wrong. From the RFC 4627:
object = begin-object [ member *( value-separator member ) ]
end-object
member = string name-separator value
string = quotation-mark *char quotation-mark

Description:
------------
When you encode a proper javascript object as json and then use the
json_decode function, it fails.
The keys in Javascript objects are _not_ supposed to be quoted. If
you're going to store a json-encoded object (say in a database) and then
reuse it later in javascript, quoting the keys so that php's json_decode
function works means that you're counting on the browser's javascript to
support something that is not supported by the javascript specification.
Reproduce code:
---------------
// In javascript, we have an object:
// var obj = { parent_id:-1,label:"label" };
//
// In javascript, the keys for objects are _not_ quoted by
// single or double quotes. So, if we're going to properly encode
// this to later reuse it in javascript, we get this sent to php:
$json = '[{parent_id:-1,label:"label"}]';
// Let's try to convert it:
var_dump(json_decode($json, true));
Expected result:
----------------
{ ["parent_id"]=> int(-1) ["label"]=> string(5) "label" }
Actual result:
--------------
NULL
