In this short video tutorial from my recent Essential Ruby Libraries course, you'll learn about Ruby’s JSON library and experiment with parsing and generating JSON structures.

In the full course, Essential Ruby Libraries, you'll learn how to use the standard libraries that come bundled in with every installation of Ruby. I'll teach you how to:
- manipulate YAML, CSV and JSON data
- fetch content from the web using
Net::HTTPand the URI library - build Rake tasks
- manage files
You'll be amazed how much can be accomplished using only the standard Ruby libraries! Each library will be taught with simple examples and exercises that you can adapt for your own programming problems.
