Hashing JSON is an idea that gives me the creeps because two identical bits of JSON can have different hashes, which sounds like a much bigger problem to me than two different bits of JSON having the same hash.
{"k1":40,"k2":25}
and
{"k2":25,"k1":40}
are the same object; no matter what you're using the hash for, they should have the same hash.
