SafeParse

Parse json safely

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'safe_parse'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install safe_parse

Parsing a json string safely.

irb> json_string = JSON.generate({abc: 123})
=> "{\"abc\":123}"
irb> SafeParse.call(json_string)
=> {"abc"=>123}

Parsing an invalid json string will default to {}.

irb> invalid_json_string = "abc123"
=> "abc123"
irb> SafeParse.call(invalid_json_string)
=> {}

SafeParse can take a default to return if the json parsing fails.

irb> SafeParse.call(invalid_json_string, {abc: 123})
=> {:abc=>123}

Safe parse can also take a ruby hash and it correctly.

irb> SafeParse.call({ruby: "hash"})
=> {:ruby=>"hash"}
