JSON on IE6 (IE7)

Sorry for my inpatience but after weeks staying up late and just having put my web online, I just don't have any left energy to debug... I just can't Google how to implement JSON on IE6 & IE7... I'm using

JSON.stringify(...)

From what I understand JSON is not built in on IE6-7 and has to be dynamically added in in-line code... how do you do that?

I already have jQuery - is it my correct understanding that their JSON engine relies on the browser native one?

Then some comment on invalid JSON code that makes IE6-7 fail, but I thought it wasn't native in IE6-7?

Anyone?

Solution

  • Since you want to use the JSON.stringify method, you will need to include the JSON3 parser in order to support it on IE < 8.

    This library complies with the standard methods of the ECMAScript 5th Edition specification and it checks if there is a native implementation available, so on modern browser this native implementation will be used.
