You cannot create a JSON object by using the new operator. An error occurs if you try to do this. However, you can override or modify the JSON object.
The scripting engine creates the JSON object when the engine is loaded. All of its methods and properties are available to your script at all times.
To use the intrinsic JSON object, make sure that you do not override it with another JSON object that is defined in your script. You may need to modify existing script statements that detect the presence of a JSON object because those statements will evaluate differently. This is demonstrated in the following example.
if (!this.JSON) {
// JSON object does not exist.
}
In the previous example, !this.JSON evaluates to false in JScript Version 5.8 and above. Therefore, the code inside the if statement does not execute.
