parseJSON Chrome

[debug@…]

Hello,

On Chrome, window.JSON.parse fails for:

'{a:"x[TAB]y"}' where [TAB] is the ASCII character 9

The jQuery parseJSON has the comment: Try to use the native JSON parser first

but it does not try, it just tests if window.JSON.parse is available.

Why not try, and when it fails try the alternate (new Function("return " + data))() ?

In the last Chrome version - 11.0.696.57 -, the JSON.parse is fixed so both $.parseJSON( '{"a":"x y"}' ) and JSON.parse( {"a":"x y"}' ) work fine.

The ticket can be closed.
