Hey all... I'm building a RESTful JSON API and I find myself writing this:
JSON.parse(request.body.read)
...over and over in every controller action that accepts JSON in the request body (which is a lot of actions).
Does rails have a better built-in way to keep the code more DRY? Or should I solve that somehow myself?
Thanks,
Cainus

If the content-type is set properly on the request, rails should populate params with the parsed json itself.

You can also use to_josn method to get the json string. Its built-in method in rails. when request arrives at server you can get json data in parameter which you can fatch by params[:] You can view the whole request ad json in rails by using req.as_json method.
