How to convert a ruby hash object to JSON

How to convert a ruby hash object to JSON? So I am trying this example below & it doesn't work?

I was looking at the RubyDoc and obviously Hash object doesn't have a to_json method. But I am reading on blogs that Rails supports active_record.to_json and also supports hash#to_json. I can understand ActiveRecord is a Rails object, but Hash is not native to Rails, it's a pure Ruby object. So in Rails you can do a hash.to_json, but not in pure Ruby??

car = {:make => "bmw", :year => "2020"}
car.to_json

Hello @kartik,

You can also use JSON.generate:

require 'json'

JSON.generate({ foo: "bar" })
=> "{\"foo\":\"bar\"}"

Or its alias, JSON.unparse:

require 'json'

JSON.unparse({ foo: "bar" })
=> "{\"foo\":\"bar\"}"

Hope it helps!!

Thank You!
