I don’t understand what you’re saying here

if your reviver is in realm A, and says

function reviver(foo) {
…
  if (foo instance of Array) alert(“Array!”)
...
}

And realm B says

JSON.parse(…, realm A.reviver)

You will never get to the alert.

As far as use cases, i recall multiple websites using invisible iframes as “modules” where multiple realms would use a shared group of functions from a single realm

I don’t understand what you’re saying here

if your reviver is in realm A, and says

```js
function reviver(foo) {
…
  if (foo instance of Array) alert(“Array!”)
...
}
```

And realm B says

```js
JSON.parse(…, realm A.reviver)
```

You will never get to the alert.
