jQuery.parseJSON('{"name":NaN}'); handle failed

[xianke2009]

var obj = jQuery.parseJSON('{"name":NaN}'); var obj = jQuery.parseJSON('{"name":Infinity}'); var obj = jQuery.parseJSON('{"name":-Infinity}');

Infinity and NaN aren't valid JSON, see ​http://www.json.org/. Unfortunately there isn't a way to specify those values in JSON.

Why is it invalid JSON? The following statement is true:

typeof Infinity === "number"

So it adheres to the specification in my Eyes. By the way: JSON-Strings with Infinity and NaN *can* be converted to objects via eval().
