  1. Great! for object creation as you can see object
    var user = new Object(); instead of this you can also use direct method as var user= {} ;

  8. Why use a third party plugin for something that's already available by the browsers?

    Use JSON.stringify(value[, replacer [, space]])

  9. @Anonymous
    Not all browsers have native JSON support.

    IE8+
    Firefox 3.1+
    Safari 4.0.3+
    Opera 10.5+

  11. A quick notes on your scripts...

    I would cut down some of your writing on how you instantiate your variables, objects and array.

    var request = new Object();
    var userDetails = new Object();
    var user = new Object();
    var websites=new Array();

    __BECOMES__

    var request = {},
    userDetails = {},
    users = {},
    websites = [];

    Cleaner, less code.
