Description

JSONObject is a simple Ruby library for converting JSON objects into Ruby classes.

It:

1. Simplifies parsing JSON objects into classes

2. Creates a series of setters, getters with instance variables for your new classes

Introduction

Installation

Installation could be simpler:

gem 'json_object', '~> 0.0.2'

or

gem install json_object

Examples

Once you have the gem installed crack open an IRB session:

require'json_object'json='{ "first_name" : "David", "last_name" : "White" }'obj=JSONObject.newjson=>#<Object:0x00000100859688 @first_name="David", @last_name="White"> obj.first_name=>"David"obj.last_name=>"White"obj.first_name="Dave"=>"Dave"

You can also create new classes completely dynamically without ever writing a class in Ruby:

require'json_object'json='{ "first_name" : "David", "last_name" : "White" }'person=JSONObject.newjson,"person"=>#<Person:0x00000100859688 @first_name="David", @last_name="White"> person.first_name=>"David"person.last_name=>"White"person.first_name="Dave"=>"Dave"person=Person.new=>#<Person:0x00000100859688 @first_name="", @last_name=""> person.first_name="Jeremy"=>"Jeremy"person.last_name="White"=>"White"

And now you have a fully functioning Ruby class with data from your json file.
