Thanks! I think that should do it for me. I've been writing my own custom *semi* JSON parser/combinator (JSON only hacked to let me to include js functions). My first cut works, but I had implemented string searches for js qualifiers. I didn't like the implementation since it string searches every string, js-fn or not. And since I have to check type already I can use that without adding any real overhead.
Thanks.
