How can i connect to a separate server and parse its JSON response?
i need to connect to another server we manage 开发者_运维问答and have it's results (in JSON format) processed by rails... how can I do it ?
Thanks!
With the NET/HTTP library, you can get the content of a distant file.
Then with the JSON library you can parse a json string into a hash.
def get_datas
url = URI.parse("http://www.example.com/page.json")
res = Net::HTTP.start(url.host, url.port) {|http|
http.get(url.path)
}
JSON.parse res.body
end
You can use something like ActiveResource as a model if you like that kind of interface:
class Thing < ActiveResource::Base
self.site = "http://api.example.com:3000/"
self.format = :json
self.element_name = "thing"
end
This might be more than you need, though, as often Net::HTTP and the JSON library will do the job.
