Is JSON.stringify() reliable for serializing JSON objects?

I need to send full objects from Javascript to PHP. It seemed pretty obvious to do JSON.stringify() and then json_decode() on the PHP end, but will this allow for strings with ":" and ","? Do I need to run an escape() function on big user input strings that may cause an issue? What would that escape function be? I don't think escape works for my purposes.

Are there any downsides to JSON.stringify() I need to know about?

Thanks
