Technically, not JSON.


Why do you think it is not JSON?


It's just a regular JS object. JSON !== JavaScript object notation. E.g. according to the JSON spec, you should always quote property names (`{"foo":123}`) but regular JS doesn't require this (`{foo:123}`).

sure, but somewhat irrelevant, since the point is that the object can be (and likely is at some point) deserialized from json.
