Hi Rodrigo,

I don't recommend disabling ext/json. Solar_Json was written to use  
ext/json if it is available, which will result in faster encoding/ 
decoding. The php-native Solar_Json encoding and decoding methods are  
unit-tested against ext/json to ensure that the Solar_Json class will  
behave the same way whether or not ext/json is available.

So if you've got the ability to use the native extension, I suggest  
enabling it and then continuing to use Solar_Json as it sounds like  
you already are.

That's how I would do what you're describing, yes.

I also have the toJSONString() JavaScript-based encoder you  
referenced on my list of JavaScripts to consider for bundling with  
Solar.
