See: AttributeDictionary#each_pair
When the JSON library has been required:
require "json"
… Then, …basically:
def get_json_from_dict( obj, dict_name )
d = obj.attribute_dictionary(dict_name,false)
return false if d.nil?
h = {} # create a hash
d.each_pair {|k,v| h[k]=v }
"{ #{dict_name} : #{h.to_json} }"
end
