render :json question

I am calling "render :json => @buildings" from a Buildings controller.

It's returning [{"building":{"value":"114 3rd Ave New York"}},{"building": {"value":"114 1st Pl Brooklyn"}},{"building":{"value":"1140 2nd Ave New York"}},{"building":{"value":"1143 2nd Ave New York"}}]

As expected, however, I need the json array to NOT be nested within a "building" node.

i.e. I need: [{"value":"114 3rd Ave New York"}, {"value":"114 1st Pl Brooklyn"}, {"value":"1140 2nd Ave New York"}, {"value":"1143 2nd Ave New York"}]

I have tried passing various options to the render call and other to_json and as_json variations.

How would I do this?

Thanks, Elliott G

try

ActiveRecord::Base.include_root_in_json = false

ok.
