Krinkle's comment:
JSON parsing from a string is indeed a modern API that isn't reliably available
in a cross-browser environment. However it doesn't make sense to pass a JSON
string to a browser. Browsers have javascript engines and JSON (JavaScript
Object Notation) as a literal rather than a string is (naturally) supported in
all javascript engines (even old ones (IE6..) and/or handicapped mobile
javascript engines, its in the fundamentals of the language, it's even used in
the return value visible in the diff above).
Outputting <code>'var mwMobileFrontendData = ' . FormatJSON::encode(
$frontendData ) . ';'</code> will be fine. Where <code>$frontendData</code>
would be something like:
<pre>
$frotendData = array(
'messages' => array(
'expand-section' => ..,
),
'config' => array(
'pageTitle' => ..
, 'scriptPath' => ..,
),
);
</pre>
Then from a javascript file you'd have something like:
<pre>
( function ( mfData ) {
var mf = {
msg: function (key) {
return mfData.messages[key];
}
};
window.mwMobileFrontend = mf;
}( mwMobileFrontendData ) );
</pre>
Just a short example :)
