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

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

I am using RoR ActiveRecord polymorphic inheritance and was wondering if it''s possible to access the base class'' association methods in the invocation of either to_xml or to_json without having to depict the base class data in the serialized string. Here are my classes: # base class class Asset < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :resource, :polymorphic => true

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 , 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 =>

hi, i want to return to_json with ''only'' and also filtered.so i tried various ways, but none of them are really good: A)#OK , but filter missing format.json { render :json => @project.to_json(:only => [:title ], :include=> { :tasks => {:only=>[:id,:title] } } ) } B)#Not OK > filter does not work, format.json { render :json => @project.to_json(:only

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

Sometimes to_json options feels abusing to me: user.to_json(:only => [:id, :name], :methods => [:something]) I would prefer an API like this instead: user.to_json(:id, :name, :something) What do you think about adding a use case like this to to_json? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.

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

Sometimes default json options feels abusing to me: person.to_json(:only => [:id, :name], :methods => [:something]) I would like to be able to call something like this for AR objects person.to_json(:id, :name, :something) What do you think about extending to_json API with this use case? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails:

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

I installed the JSON gem because I wanted the JSON parser. Before installing the JSON gem, overloading worked fine. Before I remove it, I''d like to see if anyone has an idea of what is going on. It''s the only JSON parser I''m aware of, so it would be a bummer if it didn''t work. After installing, if I overload the to_json method in the class, it gives me the

I am using Rails 2.0.2 and trying to use to_json to generate json. I notice several problems. 1) datetime field such as created_at mapped to "created_at": {} 2) :except does not work, @post.to_json(:except => [:created_at, :updated_at] still gives me "created_at": {}, "update_at": {} 3) problem with escaped char mapping: ''<'' mapped to

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. How this to_yaml serialization is working? can fully understand how to_json and to_xml is working but to_yaml beats me.

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":

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)

Hello, with Rails 3.0.3 "Café Noir ".strip => "Café noir" but "Café ".strip => "Caf\303\251" In fact, strip() doesn''t works if the last printable character is accentuated. Surprisingly " écologie".strip works fine. I''ve tried to dig deeper in active_support multibyte source code but didn''t found any solution.

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, In short: I can do following: user.to_xml(:root => "xml_user" ) But not following: user.to_json(:root => "json_user") JSON serializer for AR doesn''t allow us to specify "root" option unlike XML serializer. JSON serializer always uses model name as the root if class attribute include_root_in_json is set to true. I''ve added a patch which
