[Dojo-interest] dojo and rails

[Yi Tan]

Hey, we are facing the same problem. I'm very new to both dojo and RoR. I
haven't got a clue how to completely replace prototype by dojo. And in my
current application. I got a JSON parser in ruby to deal with all rpc calls.


The simplest ruby JSON parser could be

null=nil; jsonobj = eval(json.gsub
(/(["'])\s*:\s*(['"0-9tfn\[{])/){"#{$1}=>#{$2}"})

And there are a few better and safer parsers on the Internet, for more
information, please check following sites.

When you know better dojo and RoR solution, please let me know.

Regards,

Yi
