Hi,
> Does JSON really have to be all one long line of text?
No, not according to the specs[1]: "Whitespace can be inserted between
any pair of tokens". I've definitely used newlines in real-world apps
using Prototype's built-in handling for JSON response bodies in
Ajax.Requests.
Just tested, and this worked fine:
* * * *
var s;
var j;
s = "\n{\n'test'\n:\n'value'\n}\n";
j = s.evalJSON();
alert("j.test = " + j.test);
* * * *
Tested in FF3, IE6, Op9, Safari3 (Windows).
I think the problem must lie elsewhere.
