 Well, let see if I understand, meaby you are confused. Judging by your 
code, the result variable points to a #Hash, so:

#result = {key => value, ..}

 So, if I'm in the right way then I realize that each key is also a 
#Hash, because you say:

#key["host_display_name"]

 So the result variable appear to be something like this:

#result = {#Hash => value, ..}

 Meaby the values are the Hash and the key is another object, like a 
symbol. I didn't played with JSON, don't know how it works, but if my 
aproach is right instead of do #key["host_display_name"] you have to do:

#value["host_display_name"]

 If the result variable is something like this:

#result = {:some_key => {"host_display_name" => #Object}, ..}
