The reason for this is, that JSON doesn't support ranges # or arbitrary classes. In this case the json library falls back to call # Object#to_json, which is the same as #to_s.to_json. # # It's possible to extend JSON to support serialization of arbitray classes by # simply implementing a more specialized version of the #to_json method, that # should return a JSON object (a hash converted to JSON with #to_json) # like this (don't forget the *a for all the arguments): # # class Range # def to_json(*a) # { # 'json_class' => self.class.name, # 'data' => [ first, last, exclude_end? ] # }.to_json(*a) # end # end # # The hash key 'json_class' is the class, that will be asked to deserialize the # JSON representation later. In this case it's 'Range', but any namespace of # the form 'A::B' or '::A::B' will do. All other keys are arbitrary and can be # used to store the necessary data to configure the object to be deserialized. # # If a the key 'json_class' is found in a JSON object, the JSON parser checks # if the given class responds to the json_create class method. If so, it is # called with the JSON object converted to a Ruby hash. So a range can # be deserialized by implementing Range.json_create like this: # # class Range # def self.json_create(o) # new(*o['data']) # end # end # # Now it possible to serialize/deserialize ranges as well: # # json = JSON.unparse [1, 2, {"a"=>3.141}, false, true, nil, 4..10] # # => "[1,2,{\"a\":3.141},false,true,null,{\"json_class\":\"Range\",\"data\":[4,10,false]}]" # JSON.parse json # # => [1, 2, {"a"=>3.141}, false, true, nil, 4..10] # # JSON.unparse always creates the shortes possible string representation of a # ruby data structure in one line. This good for data storage or network # protocols, but not so good for humans to read. Fortunately there's # also JSON.pretty_unparse (or JSON.pretty_generate) that creates a more # readable output: # # puts JSON.pretty_unparse([1, 2, {"a"=>3.141}, false, true, nil, 4..10]) # [ # 1, # 2, # { # "a": 3.141 # }, # false, # true, # null, # { # "json_class": "Range", # "data": [ # 4, # 10, # false # ] # } # ] # # There are also the methods Kernel#j for unparse, and Kernel#jj for # pretty_unparse output to the console, that work analogous to Kernel#p and # Kernel#pp. # require 'strscan' # This module is the namespace for all the JSON related classes. It also # defines some module functions to expose a nicer API to users, instead # of using the parser and other classes directly. module JSON # The base exception for JSON errors.
