e.g. <code>functionCallback( &lt;json_data_here&gt; )</code>
and serve as plain old JavaScript.</p>

<p>Example - <code>Content-Type: application/json</code>:</p>

<pre><code>{
  key: "ottakringerhelles",
  title: "Ottakringer Helles",
  synonyms: "16er Blech|16er Hüs'n",
  abv: "5.2",
  ...
}
</code></pre>

<p>becomes <code>Content-Type: application/javascript</code>:</p>

<pre><code>functionCallback(
  {
    key: "ottakringerhelles",
    title: "Ottakringer Helles",
    synonyms: "16er Blech|16er Hüs'n",
    abv: "5.2",
    ...
  }
);
</code></pre>

<p>Bonus: Little Sinatra helper for JSON or JSONP response (depending on callback parameter).</p>

<pre><code>def json_or_jsonp( json )
  callback = params.delete('callback')

  if callback
    content_type :js
    response = "#{callback}(#{json})"
  else
    content_type :json
    response = json
  end
end
</code></pre>

<p>JSON built into Ruby 2.0 as a standard library. Example:</p>

<pre><code>require 'json'

hash =
{
  key:   "ottakringerhelles",
  title: "Ottakringer Helles"
}
</code></pre>

<h3 id="jsongenerate">1) <code>JSON.generate</code></h3>

</code></pre>

<h3 id="tojson">2) <code>#to_json</code></h3>

<h1 id="serializers---from-ruby-objects-in-memory-to-javascript-object-in-text-continued">Serializers - From Ruby Objects (in Memory) to JavaScript Object (in Text) Continued</h1>

<p>Serializers for your Models. Example:</p>

<pre><code>class BeerSerializer

  def initialize( beer )
    @beer = beer
  end

  attr_reader :beer

  def as_json
    data = { key:      beer.key,
             title:    beer.title,
             synonyms: beer.synonyms,
             abv:      beer.abv,
             ...
           }
    data.to_json
  end

end # class BeerSerializer
</code></pre>

<p>And add <code>as_json</code> to your Model. Example:</p>

<pre><code>class Beer &lt; ActiveRecord::Base

  def as_json_v2( opts={} )
    BeerSerializer.new( self ).as_json
  end

end # class Beer
