I've had similar problems to this when trying to serialise JSON for a jQuery
plugin. The only solution I found that worked is detailed here:
<!--- get the matches --->
<cfquery name="q" datasource="#request.ds#">
select product_id as value, product_title as label
from products
where product_title like <cfqueryparam value="%#url.term#%" />
</cfquery>
<!--- where we'll hold the data to convert to JSON --->
<cfset data = [] />
<cfoutput query="q">
<!--- create a new structure on each iteration, forcing lowercase
keys --->
<cfset obj = {
"label" = label,
"value" = value
} />
<!--- push this match onto the array --->
<cfset arrayappend(data, obj) />
</cfoutput>
<!--- serialize the new structure --->
<cfoutput>#serializeJSON(data)#</cfoutput>

> "title": "Stockholm",
> "lat": 59.3,
> "lng": 18.1,
> "description": "Stockholm is the capital and the largest city of
Sweden and
> constitutes the most populated urban area in Scandinavia with a population
> of 2.1 million in the metropolitan area (2010)"
> },
> {
> "title": "Oslo",
> "lat": 59.9,
> "lng": 10.8,
> "description": "Oslo is a municipality, and the capital and most
populous
> city of Norway with a metropolitan population of 1,442,318 (as of 2010)."
> }
> ]
>

> {"COLUMNS":["BUSINESS_NAME","LATITUDE","LONGITUDE"],"DATA":[["sdfd

> 14.921735,18.602189],["fff ints",-17.8451823,195.0541819]]}
