+ # Returns a JSON string representing the model. Some configuration is
+ # available through +options+.
+ #
+ # The option <tt>ActiveRecord::Base.include_root_in_json</tt> controls the
+ # top-level behavior of to_json. In a new Rails application, it is set to
+ # <tt>true</tt> in initializers/new_rails_defaults.rb. When it is <tt>true</tt>,
+ # to_json will emit a single root node named after the object's type. For example:
+ #
+ # konata = User.find(1)
+ # ActiveRecord::Base.include_root_in_json = true
+ # konata.to_json
+ # # => { "user": {"id": 1, "name": "Konata Izumi", "age": 16,
+ # "created_at": "2006/08/01", "awesome": true} }
+ #
+ # ActiveRecord::Base.include_root_in_json = false
+ # konata.to_json
+ # # => {"id": 1, "name": "Konata Izumi", "age": 16,
+ # "created_at": "2006/08/01", "awesome": true}
+ #
+ # The remainder of the examples in this section assume include_root_in_json is set to
+ # <tt>false</tt>.
+ #
+ # Without any +options+, the returned JSON string will include all
+ # the model's attributes. For example:
+ #
+ # konata = User.find(1)
+ # konata.to_json
+ # # => {"id": 1, "name": "Konata Izumi", "age": 16,
+ # "created_at": "2006/08/01", "awesome": true}
+ #
+ # The <tt>:only</tt> and <tt>:except</tt> options can be used to limit the attributes
+ # included, and work similar to the +attributes+ method. For example:
+ #
+ # konata.to_json(:only => [ :id, :name ])
+ # # => {"id": 1, "name": "Konata Izumi"}
+ #
+ # konata.to_json(:except => [ :id, :created_at, :age ])
+ # # => {"name": "Konata Izumi", "awesome": true}
+ #
+ # To include any methods on the model, use <tt>:methods</tt>.
+ #
+ # konata.to_json(:methods => :permalink)
+ # # => {"id": 1, "name": "Konata Izumi", "age": 16,
+ # "created_at": "2006/08/01", "awesome": true,
+ # "permalink": "1-konata-izumi"}
+ #
+ # To include associations, use <tt>:include</tt>.
+ #
+ # konata.to_json(:include => :posts)
+ # # => {"id": 1, "name": "Konata Izumi", "age": 16,
+ # "created_at": "2006/08/01", "awesome": true,
+ # "posts": [{"id": 1, "author_id": 1, "title": "Welcome to the weblog"},
+ # {"id": 2, author_id: 1, "title": "So I was thinking"}]}
+ #
+ # 2nd level and higher order associations work as well:
+ #
+ # konata.to_json(:include => { :posts => {
+ # :include => { :comments => {
+ # :only => :body } },
+ # :only => :title } })
+ # # => {"id": 1, "name": "Konata Izumi", "age": 16,
+ # "created_at": "2006/08/01", "awesome": true,
+ # "posts": [{"comments": [{"body": "1st post!"}, {"body": "Second!"}],
+ # "title": "Welcome to the weblog"},
+ # {"comments": [{"body": "Don't think too hard"}],
