It's possible pass a function in JSON?

Looks like using the function constructor you could pass the part of the JSON into that and create a working function from it.
Just out of curiosity what would be the reason for passing a function in JSON?

Courses Plus Student 10,636 PointsIt's a little bit complicated. I created a grunt task for upload files to S3 server, and I a need that those files all the time that I run the task are load in a random name folder, so I created a function for create a random string and I need pass that function on the property that the grunt plugin provided me and the only way that I found to do that is pass a function inside a JSON and the read the JSON.
