I am getting multiple similar JSON object from a remote site and looking to store them in a local MongoDB.
What would be the best way to do this ? (Preferably via Mongoid or Mongo-mapper gems)
Thanks

You can use a mongoid field of type Hash or an embedded document.
class MyModel
include Mongoid::Document
field :some_data, :type => Hash
end

For latest releases: field :some_data, type: Hash
If you just want store your JSON in Mongo you don't need Mongoid or MongoMapper. Just use the Mongo-ruby-driver
require 'mongo'
db = Mongo::Connection.new.db('sample-db')
coll = db.collection('test')
coll.insert(ActiveSupport::JSON.decode(you_json))
With that you store in database sample-db in collection test

Found out I can just put data directly into mongoid without defining the fields:
SomeMongoidObject['dynamic_attribute'] = json_data

Nice workaround, but I would still like to see mongoid supporting JSON fields as an option.

Got feedback on the issue. Apparently you can just use field type Hash or embedded document. Have posted an answer as such here.
