gem
A fast JSON parser and Object marshaller as a Ruby gem.
Version 3.13 is out with a much faster parser (Oj::Parser) and option isolation.
Using
require 'oj'
h = { 'one' => 1, 'array' => [ true, false ] }
json = Oj.dump(h)
json =
{
"one":1,
"array":[
true,
false
]
}
h2 = Oj.load(json)
puts "Same? #{h == h2}"
true
Installation
gem install oj
or in Bundler:
gem 'oj'
