-Active Support provides a better implemention of `to_json` than the json gem ordinarily provides for Ruby objects.  This is because some classes, like Hash and OrderedHash, needs special handling in order to provide a proper JSON representation.

 Extensions to `BigDecimal`

 ### `to_s`

 The method `to_s` is aliased to `to_formatted_s`. This provides a convenient way to display a BigDecimal value in floating-point notation:

 ### `to_formatted_s`

 Te method `to_formatted_s` provides a default specifier of "F".  This means that a simple call to `to_formatted_s` or `to_s` will result in floating point representation instead of engineering notation:
