Answer 1

If for some reason you cannot convert your array into object, for instance you are working on a big framework or legacy code that you dont want to touch and your job is only to add som feature which requires JSON API use, you should consider using JSON.stringify(json,function(k,v){}) version of the API. In the function you can now decide what to do with value of key is of a specific type.
