Subject: [ruby-core:36482] [Ruby 1.9 - Feature #4784] Import the JSON library


Issue #4784 has been updated by Sakuro OZAWA.


 $ ls path-to/ruby/1.9.1/json*
 path-to/ruby/1.9.1/json.rb
 
 path-to/ruby/1.9.1/json:
 add/  common.rb  ext.rb  version.rb

>dm-serializer requires json 1.4.6

this means dm-serializer uses JSON *gem* for JSON parsing so it can run both on 1.8 (where json library is not bundled) and 1.9.

You must distinguish gem from bundled library.

Feature #4784: Import the JSON library

Target version: 


I've personally lost several hours with the JSON gem (and was still not able to resolve the problem in a way that is acceptable for end-users).

The JSON library is an important library.

It should be included into ruby 1.9, thus it works "out-of-the-box" on all platforms.

If this is for any reason not possible, then there should be some kind of "caretaker".

This means that one ruby developer takes care about the sanity of the JSON gem.

This could be e.g. the developer who is responsible for YAML (as yaml/json are somehow related).
