Look at the chart specifically:

> JSON.parse('…') is much faster to parse, compile, and execute compared to an equivalent JavaScript literal — not just in V8 (1.7× as fast), but in all major JavaScript engines.

There is a graph on the article showing the other JS engines and yes, it parses faster.

I was wondering that too. No mention of Firefox or Safari. There is more than one browser/render engine out there. Don't design for the monoculture.

JavascriptCore, Chakra and Spidermonkey appear in the benchmark...

ah I totally missed that! It's a link to their other benchmarks under the main graph; easy to miss:

The graph in the article itself also has the other engines. You don't have to follow any link.
