I always frown upon such replies. They seem to imply that it should not matter, the question being asked, as long as there is some other way around the problem. These posters usually miss unique situations where a specific answer to the question is required. The questioner in this case did have a legitimate need, JSON. I also have one - AJAX. I prefer to to use === instead of == in my JS coding and the result is different if the types are not matched.
