Render Rails query as JSON for jQuery

Question

I have a javascript function that takes data from Rails and presents it.

The format it needs:

[
  {
    title: 'All Day Event',
    start: new Date(y, m, 1)
  },
  {
    title: 'Long Event',
    start: new Date(y, m, d-5),
    end: new Date(y, m, d-2)
  }
]

I'm trying to present this data directly from Rails:

<%= raw @bookings.as_json( only: [:title, :start, :end] ).collect{|o| o["booking"]} %>

This is pretty close, producing:

[{"end"=>nil, "start"=>nil, "title"=>...}, {...}, {...}]

All I have left to do now is change each => into :.

Am I going about this problem the best way?
If so, how can I make this final substitution in hash format?

Try using to_json instead of as_json. as_json is old syntax and hence may not work.

I get [ {"booking":{...}}, {"booking":{...}}, {"booking":{...}} ]. I need to get rid of the extra "bookings" so it's just [{...},{...},{...}].
