from_json (json, opts=OPTS)

Parse the provided JSON, which should return a hash, and process the hash with from_json_node.

# File lib/sequel/plugins/json_serializer.rb, line 178
def from_json(json, opts=OPTS)
  from_json_node(Sequel.parse_json(json), opts)
end

from_json_node (hash, opts=OPTS)

Using the provided hash, update the instance with data contained in the hash. By default, just calls set with the hash values.

Options:

:associations: Indicates that the associations cache should be updated by creating a new associated object using data from the hash. Should be a Symbol for a single association, an array of symbols for multiple associations, or a hash with symbol keys and dependent association option hash values.
:fields: Changes the behavior to call set_fields using the provided fields, instead of calling set.

to_json (*a)

Return a string in JSON format. Accepts the following options:

:except: Symbol or Array of Symbols of columns not to include in the JSON output.
:include: Symbol, Array of Symbols, or a Hash with Symbol keys and Hash values specifying associations or other non-column attributes to include in the JSON output. Using a nested hash, you can pass options to associations to affect the JSON used for associated objects.
:only: Symbol or Array of Symbols of columns to only include in the JSON output, ignoring all other columns.
:root: Qualify the JSON with the name of the object.
