rails/activemodel/lib/active_model/serialization.rb
Jakub Suder 2524cf404c fixed some issues with JSON encoding
- as_json in ActiveModel should return a hash
  and handle :only/:except/:methods options
- Array and Hash should call as_json on their elements
- json methods should not modify options argument

# == Active Model Serialization
#
# Provides a basic serialization to a serializable_hash for your object.
#
# A minimal implementation could be:
#
# class Person
#
# include ActiveModel::Serialization
#
# attr_accessor :name
#
# def attributes
# @attributes ||= {'name' => 'nil'}
# end
#
# end
#
# Which would provide you with:
#
# person = Person.new
# person.serializable_hash # => {"name"=>nil}
# person.name = "Bob"
# person.serializable_hash # => {"name"=>"Bob"}
#
# You need to declare some sort of attributes hash which contains the attributes
# you want to serialize and their current value.
#
# Most of the time though, you will want to include the JSON or XML
# serializations. Both of these modules automatically include the
# ActiveModel::Serialization module, so there is no need to explicitly
# include it.
#
# So a minimal implementation including XML and JSON would be:
#
# class Person
#
# include ActiveModel::Serializers::JSON
# include ActiveModel::Serializers::Xml
#
# attr_accessor :name
#
# def attributes
# @attributes ||= {'name' => 'nil'}
# end
#
# end
#
# Which would provide you with:
#
# person = Person.new
# person.serializable_hash # => {"name"=>nil}
# person.as_json # => {"name"=>nil}
# person.to_json # => "{\"name\":null}"
# person.to_xml # => "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n<serial-person...
#
# person.name = "Bob"
# person.serializable_hash # => {"name"=>"Bob"}
# person.as_json # => {"name"=>"Bob"}
# person.to_json # => "{\"name\":\"Bob\"}"
# person.to_xml # => "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n<serial-person...
#
# Valid options are <tt>:only</tt>, <tt>:except</tt> and <tt>:methods</tt> .
