> should be decodable as JSON

The OP didn't ask for real JSON but a nested JS data structure, which is an upper set.

This can't be decoded, Perl doesn't have a builtin JS parser (yet).

The only way I see is to serialize objects like this function as string - hence lethal JSON - and to have a conversion filter on the JS side before using it (here with eval)

Though I'm not sure about the best way to mark such objects to be distinguished from normal strings.
