Let me try to explain by example...
JSON demo 1:
{
"id": "4c9f83e4-f479-48d0-9f92-3fff70a8f6ba",
"item": {
"business": "1114",
"class": "Demo",
"date": "01-01-2014"
}
}
item = "{\"id\": \"4c9f83e4-f479-48d0-9f92-3fff70a8f6ba\",\"item\":
{\"business\": \"1114\",\"class\": \"Demo\", \"date\": \"01-01-2014\"}}"
json = JSON.parse(item)
=> {"id"=>"4c9f83e4-f479-48d0-9f92-3fff70a8f6ba",
"item"=>{"business"=>"1114", "class"=>"Demo", "date"=>"01-01-2014"}}
json['id']
=> "4c9f83e4-f479-48d0-9f92-3fff70a8f6ba"
json['item']
=> {"business"=>"1114", "class"=>"Demo", "date"=>"01-01-2014"}
json['item']['business']
=> "1114"
json['item']['class']
=> "Demo"
JSON Demo 2:
{
"id": "4c9f83e4-f479-48d0-9f92-3fff70a8f6ba",
"item": "{"business": "1114","class":
"Demo", "date": "01-01-2014""
}"
}
item = "{\"id\": \"4c9f83e4-f479-48d0-9f92-3fff70a8f6ba\", \"item\":
\"{"business": "1114", "class":
"Demo", "date": "01-01-2014"}\"}"
json = JSON.parse(item)
=> {"id"=>"4c9f83e4-f479-48d0-9f92-3fff70a8f6ba",
"item"=>"{"business": "1114", "class":
"Demo", "date": "01-01-2014"}"}
json['id']
=> "4c9f83e4-f479-48d0-9f92-3fff70a8f6ba"
json['item']
=> "{"business": "1114", "class":
"Demo", "date": "01-01-2014"}"
json['item']['business']
=> "business"
It appears to me you're seeing something like "JSON Demo 2". What you
want is what you see in "JSON Demo 1".
