#to_json(state = nil) ⇒ Object

call-seq: to_json(*)

Converts this object into a JSON string. If this object doesn't directly maps to a JSON native type, first convert it to a string (calling #to_s), then converts it to a JSON string, and returns the result. This is a fallback, if no special method #to_json was defined for some object.
