Is there a reason to use this over JSON.parse()?

jQuery.parseJSON defaults to using JSON.parse if it exists, so the only reason to use this over the real one is if you need a fallback for <IE7. It was changed way back in jQuery 1.6: james.padolsey.com/jquery/#v=1.6.0&fn=jQuery.parseJSON

2016 update: As of jQuery 3.0, $.parseJSON is deprecated and you should use the native JSON.parse method instead.
