I'm evaluating a JSON string that is stored on the client side (in a hidden field). I use this string just as a search filter, so I think eval is OK in this scenario too. But, as I've been using jQuery a lot recently, I thought I could leverage some JSON parsing in my code. Thanks weepy, good hint.
