JSON gods have been appeased!

ActiveJDBC gets built in JSON generation, here is a simple example:

Person p = (Person)Person.findById(1);
 String xml = p.toJson(true); 

will generate this:

{
 "type":"activejdbc.test_models.Person",
 "id":"1",
 "updated_at":"2011-02-23 22:18:11.0",
 "graduation_date":"1954-12-01",
 "name":"John",
 "dob":"1934-12-01",
 "last_name":"Smith",
 "created_at":"2011-02-23 22:18:11.0"
 } 

The functionality is quite similar to that of the toXml() method, and more options are available, including specifying what attributes you want, pretty/ugly formats and inclusion of children. for more information, look here: GenerationOfJson.
