More JSON functionality in core
I was wondering if there was ever going to be the addition of some
more JSON methods into jQuery's core. The functionality is mainly
exposed in the jquery-json plugin (http://code.google.com/p/jquery-
json/), however I believe that at least the toJSON method would be a
good addition to the core.
I understand that serialize and serializeArray cover the use cases of
form serialization, however neither method is capable of turning a
generic Javascript object into JSON serialized text (if they are, do
tell - this whole post will be for naught :). I know there has been
some movement about adding it to JS1.9 (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/
show_bug.cgi?id=340987) but a forward compatible implementation now
would still be useful.
