    .decode(json, options = {})  
    Also known as: .load
  



  

    

Parses a JSON string (JavaScript ::Object Notation) into a hash. See www.json.org for more info.



ActiveSupport::JSON.decode("{\"team\":\"rails\",\"players\":\"36\"}")
#=> {"team" => "rails", "players" => "36"}

def decode(json, options = {})

    convert_dates_from(data)
  else
    data
  end
end


  








  

    .dump(value, options = nil)  
  



  

    

Alias for .encode.

alias_method :dump, :encode


  








  

    .encode(value, options = nil)  
    Also known as: .dump
  



  

    

Dumps objects in JSON (JavaScript ::Object Notation). See www.json.org for more info.



ActiveSupport::JSON.encode({ team: 'rails', players: '36' })
# => "{\"team\":\"rails\",\"players\":\"36\"}"



By default, it generates JSON that is safe to include in JavaScript, as it escapes U+2028 (Line Separator) and U+2029 (Paragraph Separator):



ActiveSupport::JSON.encode({ key: "\u2028" })
# => "{\"key\":\"\\u2028\"}"



By default, it also generates JSON that is safe to include in HTML, as it escapes <, >, and &:



ActiveSupport::JSON.encode({ key: "<>&" })
# => "{\"key\":\"\\u003c\\u003e\\u0026\"}"



This behavior can be changed with the escape_html_entities option, or the global escape_html_entities_in_json configuration option.



ActiveSupport::JSON.encode({ key: "<>&" }, escape_html_entities: false)
# => "{\"key\":\"<>&\"}"



For performance reasons, you can set the escape option to false, which will skip all escaping:



ActiveSupport::JSON.encode({ key: "\u2028<>&" }, escape: false)
# => "{\"key\":\"\u2028<>&\"}"

    .load(json, options = {})  
  



  

    

Alias for .decode.

    .parse_error  
  



  

    

Returns the class of the error that will be raised when there is an error in decoding JSON. Using this method means you won’t directly depend on the ActiveSupport’s JSON implementation, in case it changes in the future.



begin
  obj = ActiveSupport::JSON.decode(some_string)
rescue ActiveSupport::JSON.parse_error
  Rails.logger.warn("Attempted to decode invalid JSON: #{some_string}")
end
