      When trying to parse a JSON string containing Mongo Extended JSON like: http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Mongo+Extended+JSON

      The JSON.parse utility function doesn't know about this type. Underlying problem is in the JSONCallback.java file which has a if else for a lot of extensions but not the $binary.

      example:
      JSON.parse(("

      { \"$binary\" : \"YWJjZA==\", \"$type\" : 0 }

      "))
