Rails - Dec 2005 - typecasting HashWithIndifferentAccess

I want to typecast an object of HashWithIndifferentAccess (params) to Hash.
Whats the way of doing this (except each?)

Thanks in advance.

There is no typecasting in Ruby.  The Hash.[] method returns a new
Hash from the object you pass in:

  params[:action] # => ''index''
  params.class # => HashWithIndifferentAccess

  strict_params = Hash[params]

  strict_params.class # => Hash
  strict_params[:action] # => nil
  strict_params[''action''] # => ''index''
