# Returns a JSON string representing the model. Some configuration is
# available through +options+.
#
# The option include_root_in_json controls the top-level behavior of
# to_json. When it is true, to_json will emit a single root node named
# after the object's type. For example:
#
# konata = User.find(1)
# User.include_root_in_json = true
# konata.to_json
# # => { "user": {"id": 1, "name": "Konata Izumi", "age": 16,
# "created_at": "2006/08/01", "awesome": true} }
#
# User.include_root_in_json = false
# konata.to_json
# # => {"id": 1, "name": "Konata Izumi", "age": 16,
# "created_at": "2006/08/01", "awesome": true}
#
# The remainder of the examples in this section assume include_root_in_json is set to
# false.
#
# Without any +options+, the returned JSON string will include all
# the model's attributes. For example:
#
# konata = User.find(1)
# konata.to_json
# # => {"id": 1, "name": "Konata Izumi", "age": 16,
# "created_at": "2006/08/01", "awesome": true}
#
# The :only and :except options can be used to limit the attributes
# included, and work similar to the +attributes+ method. For example:
#
# konata.to_json(:only => [ :id, :name ])
# # => {"id": 1, "name": "Konata Izumi"}
#
# konata.to_json(:except => [ :id, :created_at, :age ])
# # => {"name": "Konata Izumi", "awesome": true}
#
# To include any methods on the model, use :methods.
#
# konata.to_json(:methods => :permalink)
# # => {"id": 1, "name": "Konata Izumi", "age": 16,
# "created_at": "2006/08/01", "awesome": true,
# "permalink": "1-konata-izumi"}
