struct JSON::Any

Overview

JSON::Any is a convenient wrapper around all possible JSON types (JSON::Type) and can be used for traversing dynamic or unknown JSON structures.

obj = JSON.parse(%({"access": [{"name": "mapping", "speed": "fast"}, {"name": "any", "speed": "slow"}]}))
obj["access"][1]["name"].as_s  # => "any"
obj["access"][1]["speed"].as_s # => "slow"

Note that methods used to traverse a JSON structure, #[], #[]? and #each, always return a JSON::Any to allow further traversal. To convert them to String, Int32, etc., use the "as_" methods, such as #as_s, #as_i, which perform a type check against the raw underlying value. This means that invoking #as_s when the underlying value is not a String will raise: the value won't automatically be converted (parsed) to a String.
