in reply to Perl structure to Javacript-ready JSON

Not sure why you would think that a JSON module should provide a hook for providing data that is not, well, just a different form of valid JSON.

Update: note really invalid, just not the simplest form.

    Shouldn't "\'" and "'" be synonymous in the end?

    Quoting of non-meta characters does no harm, at least in Perl.

    So I don't understand why it's not JSON, it might be redundant but it's still valid.

      Point taken, tested, and my response updated.

      It still seems, imo, that this is something outside of the scope of what the JSON module should be providing. I suppose, if one really wanted to, one could just escape every non-escaped character and be done with it.
