Question

ruby/sinatra serving an “object.to_json” to an ajax request:

  ...
  content_type :json
  adam.to_json
end
#--> #<Human:0x10aa540 @x=68, @y=24, @name="Adam", @age=50>

js with jquery:

...
$("#player").html(data);
...

resulting in div being populated with just “#” character.

console.log(data) shows:

#<Human:0x10aa540 @x=68, @y=24, @name="Adam", @age=50>

So I’m guessing that happens because “<” and other characters are interpreted to html. How can I avoid it and show the object in a web page as it appears on debug console ?

Thanks

In case it helps :

data.replace(/\</gi,"&lt;");
