conflict between json gem and rails json

[nicolasochem]

Hello,

I am generating json with the to_json method using the :except option and I bump into this error :

TypeError: wrong argument type Hash (expected Data)

This is because contacts depends on the json gem which had a to_json method conflicting with the ActiveSupport one, as described here :

Is it possible to have contacts use the rails json functions instead ?

Thank you for contacts !

This is now solved in rails 2.3.3
You can ask rails to use the json gem which speeds up json processing.

We ran into this problem as well and pushed a modification to our fork that addresses it: http://github.com/givereal/contacts
