But its Javascript Object Notation - Notation in this case implies text - if your storing it in something other than text it's not JSON.

From Wikipedia: JavaScript Object Notation, is an open standard format that uses human-readable text to transmit data objects consisting of attribute–value pairs.

Like you pointed out JSON is used to transmit data objects, but storage of data objects on the server or local file is entirely different story. I hope I don't have to explain further.
