JsonToRubyClass

JsonToRubyClass is a gem that converts a JSON to a list of Ruby classes and outputs it into a string.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'json_to_ruby_class'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install json_to_ruby_class

Usage

json = <<-JSON
{
  "students": [
    {
      "firstName": "John",
      "lastName": "Doe",
      "age": 15
    },
    {
      "firstName": "Anna",
      "lastName": "Smith",
      "age": 16
    }
  ]
}
JSON

puts JsonToRubyClass.produce_models(json)

This produces the following:

class Student
   attr_accessor :first_name,
                 :last_name,
                 :age
end

class Example
   attr_accessor :students
end

Furthermore, the following types can be used to retrieve the proper classes in other languages:

• 'c#', for C# classes
• 'vb', for VB.net classes

Example use:

puts JsonToRubyClass.produce_models(json, 'c#')

public class Student
{
   public string firstName { get; set; }
   public string lastName { get; set; }
   public int age { get; set; }
}

public class Example
{
   public Student[] students { get; set; }
}
