Example: ActiveSupport::JSON.backend = "JSONGem"
All internal Rails JSON encoding is now handled by ActiveSupport::JSON.encode(). Use of #to_json is not recommended, as it may clash with other libraries that overwrite it. However, you can recover Rails specific functionality
if you really want to use #to_json.
gem 'json'
ActiveSupport::JSON.backend = "JSONGem"
class ActiveRecord::Base
alias to_json rails_to_json
end
