toJSON() is named incorrectly - doesn't return JSON

[dalhundal]

It's really bugging me that this method is called toJSON but it's not actually returning JSON - it returns an Object - there's a big difference.

I don't want it to return JSON, I just mean to say that the method name is wrong.

I see your point, but this method is implementing a standardized JS interface:

See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/JSON/stringify#toJSON()_behavior and https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date/toJSON .
