Thanks for your comment.

Javascript objects are not JSON full stop. JSON is a means of representing Javascript data in plain text format. JSON is text, Javascript objects are… well… Javascript objects!

Saying they are alike is like saying that by me sending you the text “$1M Australian dollars” I have given you a million dollars. I’ll give you details on how you can give that million bucks back to me via a wire transfer if you care to argue your point of view any further. ;-)
