Is it valid to define functions in JSON results?

by

No.

JSON is purely meant to be a data description language. As noted on http://www.json.org, it is a “lightweight data-interchange format.” – not a programming language.

Per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON, the “basic types” supported are:

  • Number (integer, real, or floating
    point)
  • String (double-quoted Unicode
    with backslash escaping)
  • Boolean
    (true and false)
  • Array (an ordered
    sequence of values, comma-separated
    and enclosed in square brackets)
  • Object (collection of key:value
    pairs, comma-separated and enclosed
    in curly braces)
  • null
