Description
Proposal function:
$.obj = function(obj) {
return (typeof obj === "string") ? $.parseJSON(obj) : obj;
}
Can be useful when using a lot of server-generated variables and such, outputted through for example PHP's json_encode. Implementing a function as follows:
$.test = function(obj) {
obj = $.obj(obj); alert(obj.foo); alert(obj.bar);
}
One simple extra call allows functions to take both obj's or JSON data directly. Especially useful if you are mixing normal and server-generated content. Using $.obj in a call directly:
$.test($.obj(...))
Now you don't need to keep track of what is JSON and what isn't.
This is of course an easy enough function for everybody to define themselves, but I think a standard API function for this would be beneficial.

Your proposed function $.obj appears to wrap $.parseJSON - which is just a sanitizer and fallback wrapper to JSON.parse()
