Parsing JSON HTTP object in RUBY

Question

I have written the following code:

require 'rubygems'
require 'json'
require 'net/http'
require 'uri'

uri = URI.parse('somejsonfile')
puts uri

http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
puts http
request = Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri.request_uri)
puts request
response = http.request(request)
puts response

when i print the above items i get the output:

#<Net::HTTP:0x26507b8>
#<Net::HTTP::Get:0x2650638>
#<Net::HTTPMovedPermanently:0x264f750>
#<Net::HTTP::Get:0x264e208>

somewhat like this.

how do i get the JSON objects in proper format.

Thanks.!

Maybe checking out what the methods you're using actually return would be useful. — Dave Newton

... I'm saying to look at the documentation for those methods so you know what you're actually doing. — Dave Newton

Your question lacks a lot of informatin. I assume you have some HTTP service at 'somejsonfile' URL, which returns some json. If this is the case, and the URL is corret, the JSON should be in the response body.

Try parsing the body of the response:

my_json = JSON.parse(response.body)

Try using JSON.parse() instead of URI.parse

It called for a (JSON::ParserError) Error

Okay.. What format are you trying to achieve? Try your old method but change your puts lines to: puts http.to_s, puts request.to_s, puts response.to_s,

And i am trying to get the JSON object from the certain link and simply read it.
