Displaying JSON variable in RoR view

Question

I'm trying to display json in a view that I've put in this variable '@yearbook':

def list
        file = File.open("#{Rails.root}/lib/service.json", "r")
        service = file
        service = service.read
        service = JSON.parse(service)
        @yearbook = service
    end

In my view file, I go through every '@yearbook' element and simply display it like so:

<% @yearbook.each do |item| %>
    <tr>
      <p><%= item %></p>
    </tr>

And this is what I get from the view on my browser (which is normal):

{"name"=>"...", "description"=>"..."}
{"name"=>"...", "description"=>"..."}
...

Now I don't understand how I can specify to the view to display me the "name" and "description" attributes instead of the formatted json object, making it look more like this:

name: ..., description: ...

name: ..., description: ... and so on...

Hope it's clear, cheers.

How about something like below :

<% @yearbook.each do |item| %>
  <tr>
    <p>
      <%= "name:" "#{item["name"]}" %>
      <%= "description:" "#{item["description"]}" %>
    </p>
  </tr>
<% end %>

Thanks for answer, the exact code you gave me didn't work, but writing: <p><%= item["name"] %></p> (same for description) showed them which solves my problem.
