    I have persisted my objects to JSON and want to construct the object from JSON again later. For that I write the name of the object construction function into the JSON serialization like this: "com.acme.Picture"

    Now when I read back the JSON I would like to construct the Picture object again. In plain javascript I would use

    window["Picture"]

    to get the function, but since I used WinJS namespaces, the window object does not hold a property named "com.acme.Picture".

    Question is: How do I get a function from the namespace?

    toObject: function(json) {
      var fn, part, _i, _len, _ref;
      _ref = (json.className || this.className).split('.');
      for (_i = 0, _len = _ref.length; _i < _len; _i++) {
        part = _ref[_i];
        fn = (fn != null ? fn[part] : void 0) || window[part];
      }
      return typeof fn === "function" ? new fn(json) : void 0;
    }

    I solved this using this code ;)
