Subject: JSON.parse string

Hello,
I just stumbled over the fact, that the JSON parser from ruby 1.9.2
allows only arrays and objects:

a = JSON.parse '"fooo"'
  JSON::ParserError: 710: unexpected token at '"fooo"'
a = JSON.parse "[\"a\"]"
  => ["a"]

As a workaround, I can wrap every text into an array and take the first
element of the result:

   JSON.parse( "[#{a}]" )[ 0 ]

But I wonder if this is the intended behavior and if so, why?

Kind regards

Torsten
