I\'m using the jquery each function that calls this specific function for IE:

Answer 1

You can choose a different method when using different browsers:

choose eval in IE6, 7 choose native JSON in IE8 choose new Function in Firefox2, 3 choose eval in Safari4 eval has the same performance as new Function on the whole when you use the other browsers.

Answer 2

Using the file https://github.com/douglascrockford/JSON-js/blob/master/json2.js you'll have this error: "parsing string: Line: 191 Error: Object doesn't support this property or method". the property or method is valueOf().

I use the solution suggested in JSON2 Error / Conflict with another script

return ((typeof this.valueOf === 'function') ? this.valueOf(): this.toString());
instead of
return this.valueOf();

Answer 3

Parsing JSON on IE 8 and below have issues. It fails to identify JSON functions.

Download the file https://github.com/douglascrockford/JSON-js/blob/master/json2.js Include it in your application and it should fix the problem.
