After you receive the json data from api server, you can use the JSON
module to parse these data. For example:
```
require 'open-uri'
require 'json'
req =
open('http://xcp.blockscan.com/api2?module=asset&action=list&page=1&count=10')
data = JSON.load(req.read)
```
The var data that return by JSON.load function may be a Ruby Hash or
Array type.
If you want to render it to a page, you can use it in the view and
display it.
