Hello, I'm able to create and send a JSON object like so:

  @mylist << {
    :id => item.id,
    :name => name.id
  }

render :json => { :result => 'success', :mylist => @mylist }

That works great. Problem I'm having now is that I need to include users with are 1 or more per item.

  @mylist << {
    :id => item.id,
    :name => name.id,
    :users => item.users
  }

Where item.users contains a list of (user.id, user.name, user.desc).

how do I include an array like users inside a json object? How to build in Rails and then how to parse it with jQuery?

Thanks
