Hi,
JSON allows extensions. I can not understand why this is not an extension
that makes sense:
json_encode($var, $allowScalar = false);
In PHP outputting of JS literals is a common action, so all you'll achieve
by completely removing this option, is forcing people to go from this:
echo 'var foo = '.json_encode("hello world");
...to this:
echo 'var foo = '.substr(json_encode(array("hi world")), 1, -1);
A flag that defaults to false would be just as explicit and educational, and
more efficient, than forcing hacks on us like the above one.

Stan Vassilev
