[Rails-core] A minor beef with JSON::decode
Hiya,
So, what was the impetus behind having ParamsParser create Date and
DateTime objects out of application/json requests? The project I'm on
expects parameters to be received as standard types (bools, numbers,
strings, arrays, and hashes). Rails shouldn't try to convert objects that
are explicitly passed as these types; it should be up to the application to
do that.
example:
JSON
request_parameters:{foo:2012-05-12}
Should get to our controller as
params[:foo] = 2012-05-12
But instead comes in as
params[:foo] = Date:0x2af5607

I think this ship has sailed. :-/ However, it looks like you can set ActiveSupport.parse_json_times to false: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/3-2-stable/activesupport/lib/active_support/json/decoding.rb#L6-7 And it won't try to parse dates: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/3-2-stable/activesupport/lib/active_support/json/decoding.rb#L19-23 -- Aaron Patterson http://tenderlovemaking.com/ pgppbhKW2vSpP.pgp Description: PGP signature
