I would love to see support for JavaScript Object Notation in WeBuilder, primarily in the way of the 'Code Explorer'
Has this been considered?
JSON support

Oh, I would like this VERY much.. if only since the usefulnes of the code explorer diminishes when writing a little more advanced JavaScriopt (in JSON). ie:
function myFunction() { //functioncode here }
displays fine but
myFunction : function () { //functioncode here },
does nothing for me
function myFunction() { //functioncode here }
displays fine but
myFunction : function () { //functioncode here },
does nothing for me

We have intention to improve Javascript auto complete support some day. This probably won't happen with next major version.
I am not a web developer myself, so I do not know if JSON is used widely and would be a welcome introduction not only for you two...
Maybe there is some aspect of language that should be considered first?

I expect JSON-usage penetration to grow within the next couple of years. If only since AJAX and other dynamic-state patterns will benefit from serialized data over the more verbose XML data exchange formats.
But I can defenitely see why this wouldn't on the top of your todo list
for those of you wanting more info on json, wikipedia's entry is VERY thourough and has plenty of resource links
