I'm surprised that Rails doesn't have a built-in way of doing this! As Paul said, I can't think of why embedded json would be worse than any other way of transmitting the data, especially for things like backbone apps.
As I mentioned on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7205902/how-to-safely-embed-json-in-html-document/ a workaround is: <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"> //<![CDATA[ var tags_list = <%=raw @tags.to_json.gsub('/', '\/') %>; // ]]> </script> but that's kind of ugly. Again, I'm surprised there isn't a built-in way of passing JSON data to from controller to view like this. Am I missing some obvious reason why? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
