Is it okay to use URLs as JavaScript object literal keys?

Can you think of any valid URLs that would break the key string naming rules of JS Object literals or JSON?

eg. { 'http://foo': { 'response-data': 'foo' } }

The JSON spec mentions something about solidus "/" needing to be escaped, but the example above seems to work fine.

When you convert the object to JSON, it will be escaped. – Barmar Jun 22 '17 at 16:37
As far as I'm aware, anything you can get into a string will work. – Brett Beatty Jun 22 '17 at 16:38

Do not concatenate the url to a string, add it to a key in an object instead and when needed use `JSON.stringify(object)` – Washington Guedes Jun 22 '17 at 16:38
