Hi, I know that Rails has to_json method in 1.1, but what do I use to convert json -> ruby objects in my controllers? I''ve tried the JSON ruby parser, but when I include that in my controller it overwrites rail''s to_json method with it''s own that doesn''t work right. When I don''t include json library the following renders: render( :text => output.to_json ) "{\"attributes\": {\"text\": \"Redirection is done using either the \342\200\234>\342\200\235 (greater-than symbol), or using the \342\200\234|\342\200\235 (pipe) operator which sends the standard output of one command to another command as standard input.\", \"paragraph\": \"7\", \"page_id\": \"36\", \"id\": \"1\", \"user_id\": \"1\"}}" This is strange to include the attributes array by default, but it works. When I include the library I get: "\"#<Highlight:0x365b410>\"" If I''m not supposed to use json library, then what does rails provide out of the box for going from json -> ruby?

If your JSON outputer is not YAML safe (needs to insert whitespace after colons) use the following snippet:> YAML.load(json_str.gsub(/,"(\w+)"/, '', "\1"'').gsub(/"(\w+)":/, ''"\1": ''))Hopefully in the future this extra step will no longer be needed and JSON will be a true subset of YAML. zsombor -- Company - http://primalgrasp.com Thoughts - http://deezsombor.blogspot.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
