Simple Deserialization utility in Ruby.

Hi Guys

I'm new to Ruby and wondering if there is a deserialization utility in
Ruby similar to Java's Google GSON library.

When we use Google GSON, there is no need to define custom deserializer or
define in the model class that we want this to be serializable etc.

I posted more details here:

For instance, in Java using Google GSON, we can accomplish conversion of
String (Json object) to custom Java object .

*Address address=gson.fromJson(addressJsonStringForm, Address.class);*
Thanks in advance.

Regards
Vineel

Have you tried JSON.parse for this?

There are a number of serialisers/deserialisers available actually:

* Marshal, in core: Module: Marshal (Ruby 2.5.3)
* YAML, in the stdlib: Module: YAML (Ruby 2.5.3)
* JSON, in the stdlib: Module: JSON (Ruby 2.5.3)

Marshal and YAML can directly (de)serialise Ruby objects, within certain
restrictions. For instance, you cannot serialise File instances as they
refer to an open file descriptor under the hood.
