[issue18290] json encoder does not support JSONP/JavaScript safe escaping

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou added the comment:

On the one hand, supporting JSONP is a valid request for the json module. On the other hand, according to Wikipedia, "There have been some criticisms raised about JSONP. Cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) is a more recent method of getting data from a server in a different domain, which addresses some of those criticisms". Therefore, supporting JSONP might not really be worth it.
