to_json problems with objects/hashes

#51

I had trouble converting RubyLand proxies into JSON. One problem is converting array's "[1,1]" ends up as "1,1" if you use 'json' library. This is fixed by using ActiveSupport instead.

The other problem was converting Objects into Hashes and also seeing the difference between an Object and an Array.

The following code kinda provides a to_json method - it's a bit ugly (particularily the check against '[Object]', but seems to work :

module Johnson #:nodoc:
module SpiderMonkey #:nodoc:

class RubyLandProxy # native
  def to_json(arg=nil)
    RubyLandProxy.to_json(self)
  end

  def RubyLandProxy.to_json proxy
    ret = nil
    if proxy.to_s == "[object Object]"
      ret = {}
      proxy.each do |k,v|
        ret[k] = (v.class == RubyLandProxy) ? RubyLandProxy.to_json(v) : v
      end

    else
      ret = []
      i = 0
      proxy.each do |v|
        ret[i] = (v.class == RubyLandProxy) ? RubyLandProxy.to_json(v) : v
        i += 1
      end
    end
    ret.to_json
  end
end

end end

    actually that was slightly incorrect - here's an updated version

    module Johnson
    module SpiderMonkey

    class RubyLandProxy
  def to_json(arg=nil)
    RubyLandProxy.to_json(self)
  end

  def RubyLandProxy.to_jsonable_object proxy
    ret = nil
    if proxy.to_s == "[object Object]"
      ret = {}
      proxy.each do |k,v|
        ret[k] = (v.class == RubyLandProxy) ? RubyLandProxy.to_jsonable_object(v) : v
      end

    else
      ret = []
      i = 0
      proxy.each do |v|
        ret[i] = (v.class == RubyLandProxy) ? RubyLandProxy.to_jsonable_object(v) : v
        i += 1
      end
    end
    ret
  end

  def RubyLandProxy.to_json proxy
     RubyLandProxy.to_jsonable_object(proxy).to_json
  end
end

    end end
