Hello, I hope this is the right place for this, as I'd like to post a patch for your consideration to the way the JSON handles ampersands. I have had problems sending JSON data back and forth over POST requests, where an ampersand separates variables. This patch will convert "&" into "\u0026", which will allow ampersands to travel freely and be parsed by any valid JSON decoder.
