		bgcolor: "green",
		roles: [2, 3, 5]
	}

Differences to jQuery

jQuery has a second argument to this method traditional, which specifies whether to shallow encode the inputted object (Instead of encoding nested objects, it will encode a string saying “[object Object]”), which dabby does not support.

It also has a global ajax setting jQuery.ajaxSettings.traditional = true; which is not supported.
