Length of parameters in Autocompleter.Local()

Oh I see. How interesting. Eval scares me heh. Well in which case you'd have to unit-test JSON vs XML to see which would be quicker. I have a feeling it'd be close though, and I know which one I'd pick if that was the case.

No, but from I understand (don't use JSON myself), it translates
directly into _javascript_ objects when eval'ed.

var myObj = eval(myJSONstring);

Hm I may be mistaken. AFAIU JSON is a JS-compatible serialization
      
form?
  
Do browsers have built-in JSON deserializers?
      
Well, they'd have to if they have JS interpreters right?

    


Um no, I mean can you convert a JSON object into a memory construct 
without parsing it with _javascript_ code. Hence, is there a built-in JSON

deserializer (that isn't written in _javascript_). As far as I am aware, 
JSON isn't part of the _javascript_ language specification.
