If JSON is encoded into another format, newlines can be a valid 
delimiter.  For example, JSON-Base64 uses newlines:

http://jb64.org/

JSON-Base64 is more for cross-application support where PHP isn't the 
only language in the mix.  If I'm moving data between two PHP hosts in a 
migration scenario, I'll tend to use serialize() and Base64 encoding, 
which preserves PHP objects across the network and requires less effort.
