[ruby-core:105251] [Ruby master Bug#18167] JSON.load doesn't symbolize names

Issue #18167 has been updated by Hanmac (Hans Mackowiak).


The Problem lies in the documentation of the load method:
``
JSON.load(source, proc = nil, options = {}) -> object
``

because it isn't coded for newer ruby using `**options` there,
for you to make it work you need:

`JSON.load( source, null, symbolize_names: true )`

Bug #18167: JSON.load doesn't symbolize names
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/18167#change-93659

* Author: yann.gouverneur (Yann Gouverneur)
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
* ruby -v: ruby 3.0.2p107 (2021-07-07 revision 0db68f0233) [x86_64-linux]
* Backport: 2.6: UNKNOWN, 2.7: UNKNOWN, 3.0: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
As per the documentation the JSON#load method should accept _**and use**_  the same parsing options as the JSON#parse one.

Obviously this is not the case:
```
 $ ./json_parse_vs_load.rb
JSON.load, no symbolize => OK
{"a"=>1, "b"=>2}
JSON.load, symbolize => KO: keys are not symbols
{"a"=>1, "b"=>2}
JSON.load, no symbolize => OK
{"a"=>1, "b"=>2}
JSON.load, do symbolize => OK
{:a=>1, :b=>2}
```

Either the behavior with parsing options is different between these two methods and the documentation should be updated accordingly or there's a bug in the JSON#load method.

Expecting to have either the documentation updated or the incorrect behavior fixed.
