Hiya, So, what was the impetus behind having ParamsParser create Date and DateTime objects out of application/json requests? The project I''m on expects parameters to be received as standard types (bools, numbers, strings, arrays, and hashes). Rails shouldn''t try to convert objects that are explicitly passed as these types; it should be up to the application to do that. example: JSON request_parameters:{"foo":"2012-05-12"} Should get to our controller as params[:foo] => "2012-05-12" But instead comes in as params[:foo] => Date:<0x2af5607> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.
