Hi All, Ben just wrote up a patch to support JSON objects as well as primitive values (0, null, false, etc) to be passed to and from workers using postMessage. Wanted to see what the reactions to this was. Is it a good idea or not? I seem to recall this coming up in the past in the original feedback about what features people wanted. The technical details are as follows: Any of the following values are passed by value as-is: * strings * numbers * booleans * undefined * null Anything else is passed to JSON.stringify (defined by Ecmascript drafts here[1]). If calling JSON.stringify throws the same error will be thrown by the function. Otherwise the message event fired on the other 'side' will contain the result of JSON.parse. / Jonas
