What is json.js and json2.js for?
backbone.js, javascript, json
Solution
Some older browsers don't have these JSON functions built in - so the JSON JavaScript library contains code that poly-fills these older browsers to work just like the newer ones.
The notable exceptions are IE 7 and below.
Problem
I'm in the process of learning backbone and I keep seeing these libraries mentioned. Can't one just use two simple functions on the client, `JSON.stringify` and `JSON.parse` for JSON functionality? Particularly, this tutorial here.
