That's not valid JSON. You need double quotes on all the property names.
Obviously it doesn't make any difference if you are just eval'ing it (it is
valid JavaScript), but if anyone uses it with a real JSON parser it will
fail.

You don't have to write that code yourself:

Description from the plugins page (http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins):
hacked the original json.js into a jQuery plugin. It adds the two
functions:$.toJSON(value),$.parseJSON(json_str, [safe]).
See the code for more details.
