That's not JSON "lying", it's JavaScript not signalling a problem if it can't map a value.

  Exactly; the problem is the with the way that js represents without preserving their original format/sematic.

    What I wanted to say: I think the headline is wrong.
    It's not "JSON lying", it's JavaScript not being able to properly map all data types to JSON.
