Methods as_json and .json_create may be used to serialize and deserialize a Regexp object; see Marshal.

Method as_json serializes self, returning a 2-element hash representing self:

require 'json/add/regexp'
x = /foo/.as_json
# => {"json_class"=>"Regexp", "o"=>0, "s"=>"foo"}

Method JSON.create deserializes such a hash, returning a Regexp object:

Regexp.json_create(x) # => /foo/
