Greetings,
I get the feeling that I'm using ruby in an ugly way and possibly missing out on tonnes of useful features. I was wondering if anyone could point out a cleaner better way to write my code which is pasted here. The code itself simply scrapes some data from yelp and processes it into a json format. The reason I'm not using hash.to_json is because it throws some sort of stack error which I can only assume is due to the hash being too large (It's not particularly large).
Response object = a hash text = the output which saves to file Anyways guidance appreciated.
def mineLocation
client = Yelp::Client.new
request = Yelp::Review::Request::GeoPoint.new(:latitude=>13.3125,:longitude => -6.2468,:yws_id => 'nicetry')
response = client.search(request)
response['businesses'].length.times do |businessEntry|
text =""
response['businesses'][businessEntry].each { |key, value|
if value.class == Array
value.length.times { |arrayEntry|
text+= "\"#{key}\":["
value[arrayEntry].each { |arrayKey,arrayValue|
text+= "{\"#{arrayKey}\":\"#{arrayValue}\"},"
}
text+="]"
}
else
text+="\"#{arrayKey}\":\"#{arrayValue}\","
end
}
end
end
