It's not they're hard to create, it's that you can't create a data structure (incl. a JavaScript Object: the "JSO" in JSON) with them -- and then marshall it into JSON.

The only way to create a Solr-style "JSON" string is to mash it by hand. String mashing is considered a bad idea in general and especially bad when proper facilities are available in your language.
