Sometime you have to deal with parsing out JSON. Luckily, this is very easy in any recent version of Ruby. Given the string below:

1
2
3
4
5
6

{
  "products": [{
    "name": "Mac Pro",
    "price": "2500"
  }]
}

You can easily parse this string by using:

1
2

require 'json'
h = JSON.parse(string)

In the above code, it will return a ruby hash that mimics the JSON structure. This means that you can do stuff like this:

1

h["products"][0]["name"] # => "Mac Pro"

So far so good, that’s it! See ya! :)
