If sole purpose is to ferry back JSON back forth, one may have a look at:

http://halcyon.rubyforge.org/

Also, why bother converting JSON to YAML on ruby side? Marshalling
Ruby objects to JSON is equally easier. If you are using AR or
something it already has support for that, otherwise JSON gem already
comes with support for marshalling built-in types which can be easily
extended to custom classes with to_json method.
