将JSON数组转换为Ruby Hash（具有哈希）

Question

I'm trying to convert some API response data into a Ruby hash or array so I can more easily work with it. Here's the JSON string being returned by the API:

[
  {
    "id": 2,
    "name": "TestThing",
    "token": "B2CA27221DB976E48248F26756289B91"
  },
  {
    "id": 3,
    "name": "AnotherTestThing",
    "token": "EF16E5F20B8463E48DBF3BA8F0E1102A"
  }
]

I believe that is a JSON array? I tried doing JSON.parse on that string, but got (JSON::ParserError)r/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p551/lib/ruby/1.9.1/json/common.rb:148:in 'parse': 746: unexpected token at '1511

What is the best way to convert this into something I can easily work with? My real goal here is to iterate over the tokens returned.

Answer 1

require 'json'
array = '[
  {
    "id": 2,
    "name": "TestThing",
    "token": "B2CA27221DB976E48248F26756289B91"
  },
  {
    "id": 3,
    "name": "AnotherTestThing",
    "token": "EF16E5F20B8463E48DBF3BA8F0E1102A"
  }
]'

JSON.parse(array)

Answer 2

My question did not show the full string I was trying to JSON.parse . I only put what I was trying to parse. I accidentally left some floating data before the JSON part of my string. Now that I have deleted that, it is working.
