Or if you could test it, that would be great > too! ;) At least for the decoding part, it might be worth to look at the "Improving JSON" proposal (http://bolinfest.com/essays/json.html). tl;dr: support trailing or automatic line-end commas, //-style comments and keys not wrapped in "s, basically extend JSON syntax to ES5. I think it would be really cool if the new parser could (maybe with a option "JSON_NO_STRICT_PARSING") implement these enhancements to ease hand-writing of JSON files. Also, will end-users be able to get the JSON parser error message? Currently, all you get is a NULL returned when you have a parse error somewhere in your JSON - and it's a nightmare to debug with this. Marco
