The way Rails handles root nodes in JSON and XML serialization is inconsistent. This has been discussed before: https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/2584-232-activeresource-json-doesnt-send-parameters-with-root-node This seems mostly taken care of with ActiveModel::Base.include_root_in_json, especially if/when it ends up in ActiveResource. However, there is also the issue of how

Hi everyone, I''m writing a lightweight AJAX application using Rails on the server side as a RESTful web service provider. I need the web service to support both JSON and XML I/O. Outputting data in XML and JSON is easy (using to_xml and to_json), and it''s also easy to do XML input as Rails does it for you automatically. Is it possible to somehow have the same automatic parsing

I''m trying to write a helper method similar to attr_accessible but instead it will be used to whitelist which attributes are available for serialization (attr_serializable). My first attempt at this was to override serialized_hash and modify the :only option to include nothing but serializable attributes. I''m facing a problem when nested models are ''included''

Hi, I am trying to convert a hash to JSON using ActiveSupports built in .to_json. I am doing similar to the example below but are there certain strings that could go in place of ''bar'' or ''rez'' that will break the to_json method? I am using a very long string from rjs output in place of ''bar''. Perhaps .to_json is not ready yet? Thanks, Peter

Hello, I''m working on a Rails app which has a REST API. I manage two formats JSON and XML. Very often to simplify the use if the API, I''m making includes. But when you add params to to_json and to_xml like :only, :except, it''s not only applied on the root object but on all the objects included. Do you know libs or methods to answer to these different problems: * Tell

Hi, i have a "place" model with 2 columns (id, name). I''m calling an external api which gives me data to create a new place object. I would like to add the address from the external place to the place object and render it as a json result, without storing it in the database. i don''t get any errors, but the address never shows up within the json output. i''ve

I''d really like to see just 2 more functional changes to the JSON serialization/encoding before we get to Rails 2.0. First, and I think this is really crucial because without it all the efforts to output JSON from ActiveRecord objects would have been half in vain, is to allow us to do this in controllers: @authors = Author.find(:all) render :json => @authors.to_json(:only =>

Hey there I was scratching my head over why my application breaks when I run on a local server but works on my remote server. It turns out that my local server is Rails 2.0.2 and my remote server is 1.2.3 and I expect the tag "attributes" to be passed with a json stream, before parsing. Unfortunately, this was dropped in 2.0.2. Is there any documentation on this? Any way to get it back?

I have a Flash application that is sending JSON data to a Rails app. I want to be able to read the JSON from the controller. Does anyone know where I can go to figure this out? I''ve Google''d around but can only find instances of converting to JSON, not the other way. Example: Flash -> Sends JSON -> Rails Controller receives JSON and converts it to a class -- Posted

Hi, I''ve done AJAX calls to Rails'' Controllers before yet never required to generate a response back to the view. In this respect, I have tried to keep it moronically simple and just add a node to see that it works, yet the response doesn''t come through / isn''t interpreted as it should. Long story short, code : // Have to use Mootools to integrate a

Hi all, I''m working on a Backbone.js single page app with Rails 3.1, and in an attempt to save on HTTP requests, I want to embed initial data set in a HTML document that is sent back to the browser after successful login. I was thinking I can simply convert my ruby object to JSON, then HTML escape resulting string of JSON, and then use that as a value for JavaScript variable. Something

I tried to implement the "Rendering JSON in actions" example from http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowtoGenerateJSON : @headers["Content-Type"] = "text/plain; charset=utf-8" data = { :foo => ''bar'', :etc => ''rez'' } render :text => data.to_json When I try to decode this in javascript with

I am looking at rails edge source code. I am able to do puts User.find.to_yaml However I am not able to find piece of code where ''def to_yaml'' is.
