Yes - if you as I pointed out the encode and decode in
mochijson2 are not inverses so

    X = decode(encode(X)) is not always true

bignums can get clobbered - floats might change precision

the behaviour or duplicated tags is undefined.

If I say X = {a:1, b:2, a:2} then encode and decode it  then ask what is
X.a is it 1 or 2 ? who knows

It looks simple - anyway it would be much better to send
binary encodings which need no parsing, rather that things that
need to be parsed.
