Eval is evil… So what should I use instead?

by

json.org has a nice javascript library

simple usage:

JSON.parse('[{"some":"json"}]');
JSON.stringify([{some:'json'}]);

Edit: As pointed out in comments, this uses eval if you look through its source (although it looks to be sanitized first)

to avoid it completely, look at json_parse or json-sans-eval

json2.js is insecure, json_parse.js is slow, json-sans-eval.js is non-validating
