Why should I use .to_json to get the right json object and not an array?

[AdamQuadmon]

In order to have the correct response I need to add .to_json to render calls (render json: {}.to_json)

What's wrong with me?

#My routes
mount_devise_token_auth_for 'User', at: 'api/auth', controllers: {
      token_validations:  'overrides/token_validations'
  }

# token_validations

module Overrides
  class TokenValidationsController < DeviseTokenAuth::TokenValidationsController
    skip_before_filter :assert_is_devise_resource!, :only => [:validate_token]
    before_filter :set_user_by_token, :only => [:validate_token]

    def validate_token
      # @resource will have been set by set_user_token concern
      if @resource
        yield if block_given?
        render :json => {
                   :success => true,
                   :data => @resource.token_validation_response
               }.to_json
      else
        render json: {
                   success: false,
                   errors: [I18n.t("devise_token_auth.token_validations.invalid")]
               }.to_json, status: 401
      end
    end
  end
end
