title: "=" sign in JSON text causes parsing error
body: <pre><code>      "Cost to Implement \nRate 5 to 1\nHigh = 5\nLow = 1" 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>as part of a JSON parses fine in jsonlint, but fails in Chrome with any of  these approaches (each tried separately):</p>
  
  <pre><code>sections = $.parseJSON(myJSONstr);
  
  sections = JSON.parse(myJSONstr);
  
  sections = eval('(' + myJSONstr + ')');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I remove the "=" signs from the string in the JSON, all is fine.  My users will need the ability to enter the = sign in the text they enter.  Is there a way around this?</p>
