That too is one of the many things that has bothered me. At work we
actually use a wrapper function which will try to make use of any one of
the existing json libraries on json.org, or native JSON if available,
basically if it can find a JSON parser loaded into the page it'll try to
use it instead of eval.
I was hoping to get an actual website up and clearly explain 4query's
purpose before I mentioned it.
But I should note that I actually patched support for that kind of thing
downstream:
http://github.com/dantman/4query/commit/bb5ea3b4b128f851871b433d826f3c76f7644086Oh, though now that I think about it, I should probably patch in a
try/catch as well since one or two of the libs throw syntax errors as a
singal when JSON is malformed.
I'm also considering whether I should rename the method or not.
try/catch is in
http://github.com/dantman/4query/commit/f8e62c0c2f0c2e19d5294c67ce2df6052fa2d6a9Same license as jQuery so if jQuery wants any 4query improvements it's
fine to incorporate.
Just a small note on why I used $.json instead of $.support; $.support
is checked fairly early on, but like at work I wanted full support for
however the json libraries are loaded. If $.support was used then
various methods of deferring the library load might end up with the
library not being used. I don't know how late .support is run, but
depending on when it's run; a <script> included after the framework
might not work, deferring the json library by putting it at the bottom
of the body might not work. At the very least loading a json library in
the .ready event or after is unlikely to be caught by $.support (In case
you wanted to completely defer json library loading till you knew you
actually needed to parse some json).
