reports is not parseable as JSON via Javascript API

Judging from the a11y docs the following should be possible:

var a11y = require('a11y');
a11y("http://www.google.com", function (err, reports) {
    JSON.parse(reports);
});

However, this causes an error Unexpected token o.

Looking at the raw reports string it is not valid JSON - it's missing quotes around field names and also uses single-quotes; i.e.:

{ audit:
   [ { elements: '',
       heading: 'Audio elements should have controls',
       result: 'NA',
       severity: 'Warning' },
    ...]
}         

Or am I missing something?

Doh. After delving into a11y I can see that it doesn't need JSON.parse at all - it's already an object. Not sure where I got the idea for JSON.parse from as I can't find it in the a11y docs now.

Sigh.
