[webkit-help] JSC: JSValueCreateJSONString

[Brent Fulgham]

Bryan,

I just realized what your problem was during a WWDC session.

Double check your compiler settings. If you are building to target  
Leopard (maybe Tiger?) Mac OS will null out features that don't exist  
in those older OS versions.

Maybe someone from Apple can tell us when Safari 4 support kicks in  
based on build OS target.
