JavaScript's built-in parser (ES5).

I tried it with ruby's JSON gem but it won't swallow it:

>> JSON.parse("\"string\"")
JSON::ParserError: 757: unexpected token at '"string"'
	from /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/json-1.8.0/lib/json/common.rb:155:in `parse'
	from /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/json-1.8.0/lib/json/common.rb:155:in `parse'

>> JSON.parse("27")
