-class Hash
+  # Returns a JSON string representing the hash.
+  #
+  # Without any +options+, the returned JSON string will include all
+  # the hash keys. For example:
+  #
+  #   { :name => "Konata Izumi", 'age' => 16, 1 => 2 }.to_json
+  #
+  #   {"name": "Konata Izumi", 1: 2, "age": 16}
+  #
+  # The keys in the JSON string are unordered due to the nature of hashes.
+  #
+  # The <tt>:only</tt> and <tt>:except</tt> options can be used to limit the
+  # attributes included, and will accept 1 or more hash keys to include/exclude.
+  #
+  #   { :name => "Konata Izumi", 'age' => 16, 1 => 2 }.to_json(:only => [:name, 'age'])
+  #
+  #   {"name": "Konata Izumi", "age": 16}
+  #
+  #   { :name => "Konata Izumi", 'age' => 16, 1 => 2 }.to_json(:except => 1)
+  #
+  #   {"name": "Konata Izumi", "age": 16}
+  #
+  # The +options+ also filter down to any hash values. This is particularly
+  # useful for converting hashes containing ActiveRecord objects or any object
+  # that responds to options in their <tt>to_json</tt> method. For example:
+  #
+  #   users = User.find(:all)
+  #   { :users => users, :count => users.size }.to_json(:include => :posts)
+  #
+  # would pass the <tt>:include => :posts</tt> option to <tt>users</tt>,
+  # allowing the posts association in the User model to be converted to JSON
+  # as well.
