How to use JSON.load Method In JSON
The JSON.load method is also part of Ruby’s JSON module and is used to parse a JSON-formatted string and convert it into a Ruby hash.
Syntax:
hash = JSON.load(json_string)
Example:
In this example we create a JSON-formatted string json_string containing fruit data and use JSON.load(json_string) to parse the JSON string and converts it into a Ruby hash.
# Converting JSON to hash using JSON.load Method
# Requiring the 'json' library to use JSON-related methods
require 'json'
# JSON-formatted string containing fruit data
json_string = '{"fruit": "Apple", "color": "Red", "quantity": 5}'
# Parsing the JSON string and converting it into a Ruby hash
hash = JSON.load(json_string)
# Printing the resulting hash
puts hash.inspect
Output
{"fruit"=>"Apple", "color"=>"Red", "quantity"=>5}
