yea, you could just find a JSON module for your programming language (I use
perl's JSON module, works great) and drop it in, voila.
for here's some perl code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use JSON;
my @array = ("how", "are", "you", "doing", "today");
print objToJson([EMAIL PROTECTED]);
this outputs:
["how","are","you","doing","today"]
now if we make that array more complicated:
my @array = qw( how're "you" doing today? '"q/3\\#\${]}[ );
that outputs:
["how're","\"you\"","doing","today?","'\"q/3\\#\\${]}["]
it automatically escapes everything for you. If you already have the object
created in whatever language you want, just use some sort of JSON module to
convert it to javascript for you. real easy :)
