[PATCH] Object.toJSON should be more liberal with spacing (for YAML compatibility)

Reported by: savetheclocktower Assigned to: sam
Priority: high Milestone: 1.x
Component: Prototype Version: edge
Severity: minor Keywords: 1.5.1 ready
Cc: savetheclocktower

Description

I'll let my irb session explain this one: 

>> require 'yaml'
=> true
>> YAML.load("{ 'foo':'bar' }")
ArgumentError: syntax error on line 0, col 13: `'
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/yaml.rb:133:in `load'
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/yaml.rb:133:in `load'
        from (irb):3
>> YAML.load("{ 'foo': 'bar' }")
=> {"foo"=>"bar"}

Currently, Object.toJSON doesn't put these spaces in.

This is a trivial fix, but I've attached a patch anyway.

  • keywords changed from 1.5.1 ready discuss to 1.5.1 ready.

I don't think there's any room for objections here

  • keywords changed from 1.5.1 ready to 1.5.1.

Agreed.

As per RFC 4627:

Insignificant whitespace is allowed before or after any of the six structural characters. [these are '[', '{', ']', '}', ':' and ',']

The current diff is missing the same changes for Hash.toJSON and Array.toJSON though. It'll be ready then.
