class String

Raw Strings are JSON Objects (the raw bytes are stored in an array for the key “raw”). The Ruby String can be created by this class method.

# File lib/json/add/string.rb, line 11
def self.json_create(object)
  object["raw"].pack("C*")
end

This method creates a JSON text from the result of a call to to_json_raw_object of this String.

# File lib/json/add/string.rb, line 32
def to_json_raw(...)
  to_json_raw_object.to_json(...)
end

This method creates a raw object hash, that can be nested into other data structures and will be generated as a raw string. This method should be used, if you want to convert raw strings to JSON instead of UTF-8 strings, e. g. binary data.

# File lib/json/add/string.rb, line 21
def to_json_raw_object
  {
    JSON.create_id => self.class.name,
    "raw" => unpack("C*"),
  }
end
