def from_json(json)
  set(JSON.parse(json))
end

#to_json(*a) ⇒ Object

Return a string in JSON format. Accepts the following options:

:except

Symbol or Array of Symbols of columns not to include in the JSON output.

:include

Symbol, Array of Symbols, or a Hash with Symbol keys and Hash values specifying associations or other non-column attributes to include in the JSON output. Using a nested hash, you can pass options to associations to affect the JSON used for associated objects.

:naked

Not to add the JSON.create_id (json_class) key to the JSON output hash, so when the JSON is parsed, it will yield a hash instead of a model object.

:only

Symbol or Array of Symbols of columns to only include in the JSON output, ignoring all other columns.

:root

Qualify the JSON with the name of the object. Implies :naked since the object name is explicit.
