[{"id":"123","name":"House"}, {"id":"1456","name":"Desperate Housewives"}, {"id":"789","name":"Dollhouse"}, {"id":"10","name":"Full House"} ]

How can I render to produce this JSON format from within Ruby? I have all the data from the DB (@result) and don't know what data structure to use in Ruby that will render to this when I do this:

respond_to do |format|
format.json { render :json => @result} end

What data structure should @result be and how can I iterate to produce it? Thank you!
