RE: [Alarm API] Object data must be serialisable to JSON

Hi,

Thanks for pointing that out Jonas. It should indeed be "any" instead of "Object".
I'll update the draft accordingly.

Kr,
Christophe DUMEZ.

Using Object here is not correct since we want to allow passing
strings, numbers and booleans too. I.e. we want to support passing
anything which can be serialized as JSON.

So instead the third argument should be "optional any data".

It's not so much that data is a [Web IDL] Object (that would be all objects that inherit from Object, including Window I guess), but that data needs to be serialisable to a JSON string. I don't know what the right WebIDL is for specifying that (if it's even possible, but I've asked on public-script-coord@w3.org [1]). It might just have to be defined in prose a bit better.
