Cannot load JSON in Rails 3

rubyonrails-talk

I am converting my app from Rails 2 to Rails 3 and I'm using JSON to parse text. Now, I never had to require anything in Rails 2, so I suppose JSON was built in. However, Rails 3 can't find it by default (uninitialized constant), so seem to have to manually require it. Any ideas where should I find it? That is, what path/filename should I require?

Thanks!

First you need to have the json gem installed, which I assume you do and then require it. You can do this in config/environment.rb Use config.gem 'json'

That's all.

I suggest you look into using bundler to manage your gems.

Put it in your Gemfile:

gem ‘json’

Thanks, guys! I only had to write ActiveSupport::JSON, instead of JSON and that's all. Thanks, again!
