Godfrey Chan ff1192fea4 Eliminate JSON.{parse,load,generate,dump} and def to_json
JSON.{dump,generate} offered by the JSON gem is not compatiable with
Rails at the moment and can cause a lot of subtle bugs when passed
certain data structures. This changed all direct usage of the JSON gem
in internal Rails code to always go through AS::JSON.{decode,encode}.

We also shouldn't be implementing `to_json` most of the time, and
these occurances are replaced with an equivilent `as_json`
implementation to avoid problems down the road.

See [1] for all the juicy details.

= Action Pack -- From request to response

Action Pack is a framework for handling and responding to web requests. It
provides mechanisms for *routing* (mapping request URLs to actions), defining
*controllers* that implement actions, and generating responses by rendering
*views*, which are templates of various formats. In short, Action Pack
provides the view and controller layers in the MVC paradigm.

It consists of several modules:

* Action Dispatch, which parses information about the web request, handles
  routing as defined by the user, and does advanced processing related to HTTP
  such as MIME-type negotiation, decoding parameters in POST, PATCH, or PUT bodies,
  handling HTTP caching logic, cookies and sessions.

* Action Controller, which provides a base controller class that can be
  subclassed to implement filters and actions to handle requests. The result
  of an action is typically content generated from views.

With the Ruby on Rails framework, users only directly interface with the
Action Controller module. Necessary Action Dispatch functionality is activated
by default and Action View rendering is implicitly triggered by Action
Controller. However, these modules are designed to function on their own and
can be used outside of Rails.
