Convert JSON String to JSON Array in rails?

You can use the json library json You can then do: jsonArray = [{"content":"1D","createdTime":"09-06-2011 00:59"}, {"content":"2D","createdtime":"09-06-2011 08:00"}] objArray = JSON.parse(jsonArray) In response to your comment, you can do this, as long as your JSON fits your model objArray.each do |object| # This is a hash object so now create a new one. newMyObject = MyObject.new(object) newMyObject.save # You can do validation or any other processing around here. end
