From: Yui NARUSE Date: 2011-05-27T22:26:31+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:36509] [Ruby 1.9 - Feature #4784][Assigned] Import the JSON library Issue #4784 has been updated by Yui NARUSE. Status changed from Rejected to Assigned Assignee set to Nobuyoshi Nakada Current ext/json is not recognized as gem by RubyGems. Nobu, please hack it :D ---------------------------------------- Feature #4784: Import the JSON library http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/4784 Author: Lazaridis Ilias Status: Assigned Priority: Normal Assignee: Nobuyoshi Nakada Category: ext 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). -- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org
