Improved ASP JSON utility
Most of the projects that I have been working on lately did not require any advanced AJAX. Most of the time, stuffing the results of a simple GET into innerHTML has usually been sufficient. Recently, I needed to do some more advanced AJAX work so I started looking into JSON. There a hundreds of helper classes that people have dreamed up already for ASP.NET, however this project was under the Classic ASP (VBScript) umbrella.
I fell upon a nice little utility on aptly called aspjson. It is a nice utility except the implementation of multi-dimensional array support is flawed. Try to JSON an array that has dimensions with more than 10 elements and you will quickly see what I mean.
I rewrote the multi-dimensional array support from scratch and I am releasing the code under the same license as the original author as well as obviously attributing credit to Tuğrul Topuz for his original code.

jcarle rocks!!!!!
You rock, really. My girlfriend agrees, you solved my problem and now I’m free for her 100% for the whooooole weekend
By the way, there’s a reported issue with the 2.0.2 version (check it: http://code.google.com/p/aspjson/issues/detail?id=2), regarding to character encoding. This version you’ve developed misses that, I have checked it out.
So people using JSON 2.1 might need to fix that as well.

Hello,
I fixed some bug and performance issue. I’m haven’t so spare time for project.
Hey-
great job on the JSOn project, it works great. Only question I have is how to force the callback propely to jquery so that it knows the data is ready? I added in the mime types to my server but that did not fully allow jquery to get a callback it was expecting. I am using IIS by the way if that is needed.
Thanks for any help!
