[Tutor] 'json' should probably be the response to 'can we use eval to parse { ... }?'

Hi everyone,
I ran across the JSON data format today:
http://json.org/
with a nice Python implementation in 'simplejson'.
http://undefined.org/python/#simple_json
The JSON format matches very closely with Python data structure syntax.
So the next time someone asks if they can use eval() to turn a string into
a data structure, let's point them to simplejson.
Best of wishes!
