Sorry. I guess I meant it didn't execute by itself, but needed to be
interpreted using something like eval and/or thrown into a variable
before it was useful. Otherwise it's just text.
I'm not sure why we had to do that workaround I previously mentioned,
and I cannot find a repository with that old code, but nowadays
json_encode seems to work seamlessly for all the data we exchange
(which are strings, ints, arrays, no objects, possibly not even
booleans) and just wanted to voice off if there was any possible
incompatibility that may be introduced here.
I'll go back in my corner now :)
