Get the hash form?

[usman-anwar-mindoula]

Hello,

Is there a way to get the hash form from the serializer, instead of the JSON string?

Hi Usman!

Not in the current version, though I was intending to add one for testing purposes.

Would love to hear about your use case, as most of the time you wouldn't need the hash form (building a hash is less performant than writing straight to JSON).

We are migrating from AMS, and some areas of our app use the hash form for various reasons (not rendering to the client). Since there isn't a serializable_hash method, we will probably end up calling Oj.load on the JSON string. Thanks.

Gotcha. If you run into issues with that, I wouldn't mind adding one_as_hash and many_as_hash to the library, and pull requests are welcome.

Rendering to a Hash is now the default behavior (default_format :hash), and can be also done explicitly with one_as_hash and many_as_hash.
