http://github.com/brianmario/yajl-ruby<p>The new JSON gem compatibility API is meant as a drop-in replacement for the JSON gem in your projects.<p>Simply replace "require 'json'" with "require 'yajl/json_gem'" and you're set!<p>yajl-ruby offers a more efficient, better RFC compliance and Unicode support over the JSON gem. I highly recommend anyone using the JSON gem to check it out.
