Title: Nested serialization with to_json and to_xml with array and hash element class Person < ActiveRecord::Base has_one :address has_one :job def office() return "Executive_Suite" end end class Address < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :person end class Job < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :person has_one :paygrade def Title return "Engineer" end end

I''m using [acts_as_commentable_with_threading](http://github.com/elight/acts_as_commentable_with_threading/), and it worked fine until I tried to overwrite the to_json function to include more details about the associated user. Here''s part of the comment class (which was originally defined in the plugin, but I moved it to the models folder, a move which seems not to affect the

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, ActiveSupport::JSON::Variable.to_json is the only to_json without an "options" parameter. Is this intended? For example, this code in a .rjs page[@user.dom_id].visual_effect :drop_out, :afterFinish => ActiveSupport::JSON::Variable.new("foo") fails with ActionView::TemplateError: wrong number of arguments (1 for 0) On line #7 of

hi , all under rails 2.0 aotianlong@aotianlong:~/workspace/killer$ ruby script/console Loading development environment (Rails 2.0.1) >> {:user=>"aotianlong"}.to_json => "{\"user\": \"aotianlong\"}" >> user = User.find :first => #<User id: 1, uname: "aotianlong"> >> user.to_json =>

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

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 =>

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

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''m trying to use jQuery to write all my js unobtrusively, and running into a bit of a problem when triggering the format.js block in IE6 (and possibly IE7). It returns the JSON string no problem, but instead of parsing it, IE6 asks to download the resource as a .js file. So if my url is ''/pictures/1.js'', IE6 will ask to save or run ''1.js'' I did do

Originally posted on github, reported to the right place. I would like to open a discussion about how `to_json` and `as_json` operates in Rails from a performance standpoint. I''m using Rails 3.2 but this issue applies to almost all versions of Rails. Our use case presents the challenge in sending out potentially large JSON (or XML, but we''ll focus on JSON rendering here)

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 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

Hi dave, and everyone ;) I''ve finished my extension to export Index.search(..) loaded results into json. Here''s a little benchmark of what i''ve done : >> Benchmark.realtime { INDEX.search(query, :limit => 1000).hits.each { |x| INDEX[x.doc].load.to_json } } => 7.38711595535278 >> Benchmark.realtime { INDEX.search(''type:hardware'',

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

Hi guys, I have a simple controller def gmap @intentsearches = Intentsearch.all logger.info @intentsearches respond_to do |format| format.html {render :gmap} format.xml {render :xml => @intentsearches } format.json { render :json => @intentsearches } end end and want a json response, but i do get the following error Completed 500 Internal

Hi all, i got a record from my project server side database, like this : @user = User.find 1 then i cover @user to json format: @user.to_json the result : "created_at": "2009-01-28T12:29:32Z" what''s the T and Z of created_at field ? but i change Rails 2.2.2 to Rails1.1.6, I got : "created_at":

Ez (or someone) asked on #merb tonight whether respond_to was the right API for what it does. After some discussion and pasties, I offer the following proposed API for content negotiation and response format selection: First, what does respond_to do right now? I see at as performing 3 distinct operations: 1. parse params[:format] and the accepts header to find out what format the

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

Hi I have an app which posts an ajax request with with text area content, but when it does post it it gets all the newlines and multiple spaces removed (need to use multiple spacing for use with markdown code snippets) I''ve created a sample app which you can see here http://test.42horizons.com/test, View it in IE 8 and both requests remove line spaces and new lines, view it in firefox
